Whistler is vast with a variety of terrain to play on. Glide between Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain on a gondola to make the most of the slopes at this resort. Blackcomb’s glacier landscapes and Whistler’s high alpine areas are highlights. Got a need for speed and steep drops? Revelstoke also attracts serious skiers with tree-lined runs and the longest lift-served vertical descent in North America.

British Columbia is a good bet if you’re looking to make tracks in light, powder-soft snow. You’ll often be able to find fresh snow well beyond the morning rush at Revelstoke thanks to its dry powder protected by forest canopies.

Canadian ski resorts often feel spacious, with wide runs, varied terrain and room to carve, especially outside peak holiday periods. The apres-ski scene tends to be more relaxed than in Europe’s big party resorts too, with cosy mountain bars, lodge-style restaurants and an easy-going atmosphere after a day on the slopes.

Looking for space to ski at speed? Sun Peaks in British Columbia is known for its uncrowded slopes, with 4,400 acres of skiable terrain spread over three mountains. Alternatively, Lake Louise in Alberta boasts wide-open cruisers where you can glide across groomed, corduroy snow with views of the Rockies included.

For couples who like to unwind on and off the slopes, Whistler is known for its lively apres-ski scene. Spend the afternoon at a forest-fringed spa, settle into a fireside lounge or take a seat on a sunny terrace after a day on the mountain. For a slower-paced romantic break, Mont Tremblant has a European ski-village feel, with pedestrian walkways, colourful buildings, cosy inns and cafes.
