For the aficionados who have refined their bucket list and families seeking bundles of wintery fun, Canada rolls out its ice-dusted carpet of iconic resorts and high-octane experiences that are often the envy of all.
Heli-skiing to the highest peaks and floating downhill with the fluffy-as-a-bear-cub snow beneath you, skiing in Canada is like an extreme game of snakes and ladders where, no matter where you go, everyone is a winner. Take bucket-list Whistler, for instance, with its epic wilderness that rivals every resort in North America. Having been known to challenge even an Olympic champion, piste-pros explore the vast backcountry while newbies follow in the tracks (pun intended) of gold-medal experts; all before heading onto the famed après-ski.
Promising the same switcharoo for both skiers and non-skiers, Banff’s’ idyllic UNESCO national park spans quieter slopes for a better chance of making fresh tracks in the three ski areas that make up the SKIBIG3. While Banff rules as the life and soul of the party, Lake Louise calls-dibs on the serene retreat angle. The best of both wintry worlds are neck-and-neck for inventive pastimes, with the likes of horse-drawn sleigh rides and heli-tours over the Canadian Rockies to see the frozen bubbles at Abraham Lake, proudly placed right on your doorstep.

USA ski holidays
ExploreBig, bold, and outrageously beguiling, skiing in the USA is a superlative in itself; but with ‘champagne’ powder snow, seriously scaled-up landscapes, and a handful of Wild West traditional towns, we believe it’s for all the right reasons.
