Ski resorts in British Columbia
Catskiing and heliskiing are popular in Canada. Skiers are taken towards the summit in Snowcat tracked vehicles. They can then ski downhill through magnificent powder snow, away from the pistes. Catskiing is less expensive than heliskiing and less dependent on the weather. The long descents delight winter holidaymakers, whether on or off the pistes. Canada has many stunningly beautiful ski resorts.
Banff is surrounded by the impressive natural scenery of the Canadian national park. This former frontier town has an international atmosphere. There’s also plenty of après-ski in saloons, cozy pubs and clubs.
Big White is located in the Okanagan Valley. The mountain village is just 60 km from Kelowna Airport. Typical snowfall of 750 cm makes it very snow-sure.
Goats Eye Mountain only opened in 1998. It is perhaps the greatest challenge in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Mount Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village offer a shared ski pass. It’s valid for 240 runs of all difficulty levels, from mogul runs to beginner slopes.
Sun Peaks, Silver Star and Big Star are famous for their champagne powder.
Whistler in British Columbia is one of the world’s best ski resorts. There’s an enormous range of activities for a ski holiday, whether you’re skiing on two gigantic mountains (about 2,800 ha) or enjoying the international atmosphere of excellent restaurants, hotels and numerous shops. The lively nightlife also attracts skiers from all over the world.
For an exceptional snow holiday, Canada is not to be missed.
