BC, Alberta and Quebec are where it’s at for winter mountain sports.

Whistler, in BC’s Coast Mountains, is Canada’s biggest and most popular resort, boasting 216km of pistes. Accessible for novices to pros and it’s only two hours drive from Vancouver!

Further east, in the Canadian Rockies, ‘Kicking Horse’ is infamous for its fine, dry, powder. A favourite with hard-core skiers and boarders, heli-skiing here is phenomenal, whereas tree-lined pistes are good for learners.

On the Alberta border, Banff, is split into two ski areas: Norquay (steep, with mogul fields: best for intermediates) and Sunshine Village (renowned for its long season and huge snowfalls).

In Quebec, The Appalachian and Laurentian mountains are the home of snow sports, and the season runs from November to April. Mount Tremblant is best known for its huge range of activities and rates high in overall satisfaction.

Snowmobiling is hugely popular in any winter location. Top destinations include the Mauricie and Lanaudière regions near Montreal, in the east, and Canadian Rockies in the west.
