I grew up skiing on Hudson Bay and all I can say is WOW!
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary with incredible terrain and snow, this is your place.
Well worth the trip... I don't live there any longer, but make sure I get back there for one trip a year.
Spend your time exploring the powder fields to the skier's left of the chair lift but don't wander too far left as you go down further.
