Snow conditions in Canada
Snow in Canada is always in pristine condition, largely due to the care put in by resort staff. Grooming is excellent, and the snow is generally beautifully dry, powder. The only downside is that lower slopes tend to suffer earlier in the season compared to Europe and elsewhere. Other than this, skiing conditions are wonderful, and loved by all.
