There are multiple winter's frozen marvels in Canada, such as massive frozen waterfalls, gigantic ice sheets where wildlife roams in the arctic, major glaciers and powdery snow covered mountains for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy. Regardless of all the diverse beauty of the Canadian winter, an unassuming snowflake yields certain magic.
