Canada

When it comes to skiing it doesn’t get much better than Canada. Stunning scenery, some of the finest powder, empty runs, fantastic ski schools and the friendliness of the Canadians make a ski holiday a dream. Canada offers world-class skiing with lots of steep terrain, avalanche protected so that it is safe to ski without guidance.

Western Canada has much better snow than the Alps, its frequent fresh falls provide the finest powered in the world and makes resorts such as Banff, Lake Louise and Whistler very popular. Banff lying in the heart of the Canadian Rockies as well as Kicking Horse and Lake Louise are also very reputable resorts with incredible skiing opportunities. Located in the heart of the majestic Banff National Park is Lake Louise. It is one of the largest ski areas in North America has some of the best powder.

Whistler is one of the most famous resorts in Canada which is situated amid North America’s largest mountain with terrain to suit every standard and a large, yet attractive purpose-built car free village. It is arguably one of the best winter sports destinations in the world and is the best snowboarding resort with incredible snow parks everywhere and more being constantly added.

Fernie boasts that it doesn’t have any artificial snowmaking facilities and truth be told that is because it doesn’t need any as it averages an annual snowfall of 29ft. One of Canada’s biggest attractions is themselves by offering the attached stigma of the ‘customer is the King’.
