Ski holidays in Canada

Canada is a dream for skiers and snowboarders. Think deep, dependable snow, long seasons, and big-mountain views. Resorts are spread across the country, from the coastal peaks of British Columbia to the Rockies in Alberta, many set inside national parks with stunning scenery and the chance to spot wildlife. You’ll find well-groomed runs, wide tree-lined trails, and modern lifts that keep queues moving. Off the mountain, there are great hotels, friendly towns, and a warm welcome wherever you go.

Best Canadian ski resorts

Canada is celebrated for its world-class skiing, reliable snowfall, breathtaking scenery, and expansive ski terrains. From British Columbia’s vast alpine bowls to Alberta’s rugged Rockies, each resort area brings its own distinct charm.

Best for beginners

Banff (Sunshine Village & Mt. Norquay) offers excellent beginner zones and highly rated ski schools. Whistler-Blackcomb has wide, confidence-building greens close to the village. Sun Peaks in British Columbia and Mont Tremblant in Quebec are also great options for first-timers.

Best for snowboarding

Whistler-Blackcomb is a top choice for snowboarders with extensive terrain, multiple terrain parks and a superpipe. Lake Louise in Alberta and Kicking Horse add natural features, playful gullies and steeper lines for advanced riders.

Best for après-ski

Whistler-Blackcomb is known for its vibrant après scene with a huge choice of bars, restaurants and late-night spots. Banff brings a lively mountain-town vibe with cozy pubs, cocktail lounges and great dining along Banff Avenue.

Best for families

Fernie combines welcoming ski school programs with gentle lower-mountain terrain and convenient slopeside lodging. Whistler-Blackcomb and Lake Louise also offer varied terrain for all ages plus plenty of non-ski activities.

Best for groups

Kicking Horse suits adventurous groups seeking high-alpine thrills, with big vertical, bowl skiing and cozy chalets. Whistler-Blackcomb offers abundant accommodation choice, while Fernie works well for mixed-ability groups thanks to its relaxed, friendly vibe.
