Snow is a fact of life in Canada, which is why for as long as there have been people here, there have been ingenious methods of playing and getting around in the white stuff, not to mention clearing it away

Avalanches see snow at its scariest, but fortunately we’ve figured out better ways to prevent them and stay safe in slide-prone areas. This issue’s fiction story explores the brilliant technology and age-old cultural knowledge involved in building an igloo, while the comic introduces readers to Armand Bombardier and the amazing snow machines he invented. 

If there’s not snow yet where you live, there soon will be, so get cozy and prepare yourself with the November issue of Kayak.
