Skiing in Canada
Canada ski holidays offer superb groomed trails and unrivalled tree skiing with some of the most incredible back-drops; from the deep forest-lined valleys of Jasper to the glittering spectacle of Lake Louise.
In the back country, you’ll find some of the best off-piste skiing in the world, with acres of knee-deep powder to explore as you dip in and out of Alpine bowls and weave your way through lush forests.
Ski Areas in Canada
Our favourite ski areas in Canada are British Columbia and Alberta. Lake Louise in Alberta has a whopping 4,200 skiable acres, with a seemingly endless supply of chutes and gullies presenting true challenges even for the experts. In Panorama ski resort in British Columbia, over 50% of the ski terrain is ideal for intermediates or above. Its Extreme Dream Zone is all about adrenaline-boosting cliffs and squeezing through tight trees, and black runs that will really get your pulse racing.
Ski Resorts in Canada
As if watching the sun set in the Rockies alone was not enough, the ski villages in Canada are delightful hives of activity and laughter. Panorama ski resort features a totally pedestrian village and the largest slope-side hot pools in North America. The hotels and bars in Whistler are bustling with live music and a vibrant atmosphere. The variety and excitement waiting for you in Canada is awe-inspiring.
Ski Terrain in Canada
Canada has some of the world's most stunning landscapes, as well as the most jaw-dropping skiing backdrops. If you are a Rockies rookie there’s plenty of powder for you in Canada too, with Panorama’s Discovery Zone and Lake Louise offering a wide variety of beginner runs as well as the trickier slopes. The diverse ski terrain makes skiing here a real thrill. Plunge through powder like nothing you’ve never seen before.
Activities in Canada
A winter holiday to Canada is about so much more than simply skiing. From exploring stunning national parks to skating over frozen lakes, or taking a husky trek through the snowy forests, you’ll have as much fun off the piste as on.
Back on the mountain, Canada is the king of heli-skiing; there’s nothing quite like being dropped off in the middle of a white, wonderful nowhere, free to leave fresh tracks without a soul in sight.
Snow in Canada
Canada's weather is born mainly in the Pacific, where storms brew but barely have a chance to draw breath before hitting the Coast Mountain range and Whistler Blackcomb, which boasts one of the greatest snow records in history. The rest of Western Canada receives heaps of fresh snow through winter; skiers will love the legendary champagne powder of British Columbia.
