Ski Canada's West
The provinces of Alberta and British Columbia are a winter lover's paradise!
BRITISH COLUMBIA
is not only home to Whistler, North America's largest ski area and host mountain resort for the 2010 Winter Olympics, but offers a variety of other world-class family-friendly resorts and hidden gems that offer unique skiing experiences.
From North America's newest resort, Revelstoke, that offers heli, cat and piste skiing all from one base, to the champagne powder and sunshine of BC's interior resorts including Sun Peaks and Panorama to the Rockies resorts of Fernie, Kicking Horse and Kimberley for that big mountain experience, you won’t be disappointed. Combine two or more of these resorts in a multi-resort ski safari self-drive adventure, for a real taste of Canadian skiing. British Columbia is also home to some of the world’s best heli-skiing.
ALBERTA
is best known for the resorts of Banff and Lake Louise which offer three separate ski mountains with 7,748 acres of terrain and stunning scenery. The scenic and uncrowded Marmot Basin ski area near the village of Jasper is a real gem and is easily combined with skiing at Banff or Lake Louise by driving along the spectacular Icefields Parkway. The independently owned Castle Mountain offers a true Canadian ski experience and is best combined in a safari with British Columbia’s ski resorts.
