Ski Holidays in Vancouver
Anyone looking for a new experience and already familiar with European ski resorts such as those in the Alps near Garmisch-Partenkirchen should consider a ski holiday in Vancouver. As host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Canadian metropolis can offer state-of-the-art infrastructure for a ski holiday.
Vancouver: one of the most modern ski resorts in the world
In the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vancouver invested heavily in its infrastructure. New hotels were built in Vancouver, and existing hotels were modernized and brought up to date. The same is true of winter sports facilities: skiers travelling to Vancouver for a ski holiday today benefit from the slopes, cross-country trails and ski lifts built for the Olympics.

Getting to Vancouver is easy: Lufthansa and Air Canada fly from German airports to Vancouver every day. Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain offer ideal conditions for winter sports, whether you're an experienced skier or a beginner. Hotels in Whistler are usually located close to the lifts, so you won't have far to go or need to take a ski bus or rental car to reach the ski lifts.
Whistler Mountain is a true skiing paradise thanks to its natural features and modern tourist infrastructure. The Back Bowls offer expert skiers very steep slopes and hollows—anyone who loves moguls will love the Back Bowls. There are also ideal conditions here for powder specialists. The two ski areas have more than 30 lifts to make getting to the runs easy.
