Anyone who loves skiing will not fail to be impressed by a ski holiday in Canada. With a fantastic selection of resorts to choose from, top quality snow and wide, groomed pistes, you cannot fail to be impressed.
A ski holiday in Canada guarantees fantastic snow conditions and its resorts are much more snow-sure than their European counterparts. Canada is particularly renowned for its powder skiing, which is considered some of the best in the world.
Skiing in Canada is a great option for both family holidays and for those looking for more than just the traditional slopes. With a range of difference between resorts, Canada ski holidays open your eyes to what a real winter break is all about.
Whistle while you ski
The resort of Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia has more than 8,000 acres of terrain with a dual focus on activities on and off-piste. Lessons for all age groups are available, as are unique offerings such as horse-drawn sleigh rides and the Coca-Cola Tube Park.
This is brilliant fun and provides large inflatable rubber rings for visitors to glide down the slopes in. However, after dark there are lots of clubs and bars as well as restaurants - making Whistler ski holidays absolutely ideal for everyone.
Go next door to Banff
Banff is situated in Alberta, which is next to British Columbia in western Canada. A big hit with tourists, Banff ski holidays provide a modern setting for a traditional break but it also has lots of shopping opportunities for those who want to intersperse their skiing with some retail therapy.
Interestingly, most of the streets are named after animals - meaning kids may have lots of fun seeing which ones they can spot!
