Best ski holidays in Canada
Best for snow-sure slopes - Whistler Blackcomb is the most snow sure resort, receiving an annual average of 11 metres and renowned for its quality of light dry powder.
Best for families - The best resorts for families are Big White and Silver Star thanks to their slope side and ski in ski out accommodation for easy access to the resorts. Fernie is also a great resort for families due to its crowd-free slopes, plus a third of its runs are tailored for beginners and intermediates. Plus Panorama also has varied terrain for all abilities.
Best for après - The après ski location in Canada is definitely Whistler. Live bands play almost daily and plenty of lively bars to visit after a day of skiing. Tremblant is also great for après ski and nightlife at the weekends but is a bit calmer during the week.
Best for groups - We have a large selection of fantastic accommodation perfect for groups in Whistler from catered chalet comfort to hotels in prime locations to access the slopes. Fernie and Big 3 in Banff (Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Mt Norquay resorts) off excellent slope variety as well as mileage so you'll never ski the same run twice. They also have plenty of non skiing activities to do and lively towns.

Ski Resorts in Canada
Canadian ski resorts are very much suited to any type of person. Whether you are an energetic young adult or a family with young children, Canada has it all. The friendly atmosphere is ever-present, whilst, depending on where you go, most resorts have something for everyone. As for the skiing, there are always a wide range of slopes, with one resort never favouring a certain ability of skier.
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 light, 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.
