Canada

The skiing and snowboarding in Canada is like the country itself - massive, scenic and uncrowded. 

Most of Canada’s resorts are located in unspoilt mareas where you can enjoy big empty spaces, low skier density, and beautiful scenery like the National Parks of Jasper and Banff. But the range of resorts means you’re spoilt for choice, from cosmopolitan, world-class Whistler to the unique cultural cachet of French Canada and Quebec. Canada offers unparalleled skiing for beginners and intermediates, together with an abundance of challenging skiing in patrolled areas that would be classified as “off piste” in Europe. It also has the most extensive heli-skiing in the world, notably within the stunning wilderness of interior British Columbia.

The northern latitudes of Canada ensure a long ski season and copious amounts of snow, but the surprising bonus, especially in the Rocky Mountain resorts and in British Columbia are often long, sunny days in glorious open bowl terrain. Canadian resorts are unpretentious and very welcoming, and the favorable exchange rates in recent years have provided an extra incentive for British skiers to discover this fabulous and diverse country. And last year’s award to Whistler as the venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games is a further endorsement of what is now undoubtedly one of the world’s great winter sport destinations.
