Canada - Skiing & Ski ResortsSki Resorts in Canada.Canada is a hugely popular destination for skiers and snowboarders from North America, but it also attracts winter and summer visitors from all corners of the world. With the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games based in Vancouver - and Whistler Blackcomb hosting the skiing events - Canada is certain to be on the destination wish list for winter sports enthusiasts. During years when the snowfall in Europe has not been great, many skiers and boarders from Europe have made the trek across to North America in search of snow. Some found they liked it as much as the Alps and European resorts, and return season after season. Who can wonder though, with almost clockwork, huge dumps of snow – often over 40’ of it! If you want to be guaranteed the opportunity to make your own fresh tracks, then the chances are you will not be disappointed in Canada. The majority of foreign ski tour companies tend to be focused on British Columbia and the big resorts of Whistler Blackcomb, Banff, and the Rocky Mountains. However, skiing is available across almost all of the Canadian Territories and Provinces, from the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia to the Laurentian Mountain range in Quebec and Ontario, so why not explore. Summer glacier skiing is also available. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced skier or boarder, Canada’s rugged mountains offer plenty of choice of terrain for all levels. There are plenty of opportunities for heli-skiing and boarding, backcountry skiing and cat-skiing, as well as telemark, ski touring, and cross-country skiing. Experienced and adventurous skiers can have the time of their life exploring Canada’s wilderness areas. What better way to avoid the lift lines! |
