Skiing in Canada this winter?

Banff, Whistler, Calgary and Lake Tahoe are probably the best known resorts in Canada but Jasper, Lake Louise and Fernie are amongst some of the other resorts that are equally good and exceptionally popular with North Americans.

We love the website Skiholidaycanada, which is a small independent company selling ski holidays in Canada and has lots of brilliant information. For example, it lists the earliest opening resort as Sunshine Village and the latest closing as Whistler Blackcomb. Fernie has the highest average snowfall and Panorama has the most trails on the mountain.

The website also lists the accommodation options at the various resorts. The accommodation options range from plush hotels through to lodges and inns. There are also some resorts that have apartments – or condominiums – available for rent. Some of the hotels offer free places for children (and children are considered to be under eighteen) so you may be able to snap up some fantastic family deals if you take this offer.
