Skiing in Canada is a matchless experience. Both skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of significant dumps of quality snow. Tree-lined pistes offer everything from beginner-friendly slopes to expert level thrill-seeking in knee-deep backcountry powder.
Skiing in Canada has traditionally focussed on the west coast. The ski resorts of Whistler, Banff, and Lake Louise in British Colombia need no introduction. But skiing in Canada’s west coast need not be restricted to these well-known destinations. Smaller resorts are also starting to make waves internationally.
Forget fretting about the latest snow forecasts in the Alps, and head to Canada. Here the vistas are equally impressive, and the apres-ski well worth the extra hours in the air.
For an authentic west coast welcome, Tyax Lodge and Heli-skiing sits beside almost 400 ski runs totalling over 50 miles. Meanwhile, Bugaboos Lodge is an impressive location for heli-hiking and heli-skiing, with the awe-inspiring vistas of Bugaboos Glacier. Winters are packed with alpine, cross-country, and backcountry skiing.
The luxurious Fairmont Chateau Whistler provides easy access to Canada’s best known ski spot. As does the award-winning Westin Resort and Spa, which is within walking distance of several chairlifts to Whistler’s Blackcombe ski resort.
