Skiing Around Canada

We give the lowdown on what slopes to hit in Canada, from Lake Louise to Fernie, based on your interests. Whether you're looking for the best apres-ski option, flawless powder or great facilities for your family, we've got the right pick for you. 

Best For Snowfall

Whistler Blackcomb – It’s the most popular resort in Canada and for good reason – 3,300 hectares of skiable terrain plus very reliable snow conditions with an average annual snowfall of 11.63 metres.

Best For Food

Sun Peaks – The second-largest ski area in Canada is loved for its alpine and Nordic skiing, and serves up some hearty fare at venues including Powder Hounds and The Burger Joint.

Best For Apres-Ski

Big White – Well known for its family-friendly charm, Big White also offers a killer apres-ski scene. Leading the pack is Snowshoe Sam’s with its laidback pub atmosphere and live bands. Meanwhile, The Moose Lounge & Bistro offers daily drink specials.

Best For Family Fun

Lake Louise – From tubing and ice skating to sleigh rides and dog-sledding, this ski destination in Alberta is well loved by families. There’s a ski school for littlies and daycare facilities, too.

Best For Exploring

Fernie – Steep, ungroomed terrain – much of which is sheltered by snow-laden trees – plus hard-to-find runs make this Alberta resort ideal for adventure enthusiasts.

Best For Having It All

Mont Tremblant – Skiable terrain for all levels and a storybook village vibe are just some of the drawcards for this fun Quebec ski spot.
