Canada is a country that embraces winter with a fiendish pursuit of
ice hockey, outlandish winter carnivals and some of the best alpine
skiing on the planet.
Eastern Canada
Ski resorts in Quebec have all the ambiance of the
European Alps. There is a French flair to skiing the Laurentian
Mountains like Tremblant, from the language spoken to the après ski, and the overall
joie de vivre of its people. There are old world chateaux and modern slopeside resorts for your family to choose from. The northern
location means plenty of snow and an inherent love of winter by its
inhabitants.
Western Canada
Home to the magnificent Canadian Rockies.
These tremendous peaks are a sight to behold, and an even better site
to ski. That's just one reason Vancouver and Whistler have been chosen
to host the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. For centuries, travelers have been
drawn to the glacially cut peaks of Alberta that jut into the sky for sports and for scenery. The ski resorts in the
Canadian Rockies are some of the biggest and arguably the best in the
world. And the accoutrements of fine lodges, dining and off slope
entertainment in Western Canada are world class too. See our reviews
of Sunshine in Banff,
Lake Louise, Marmot Basin in Jasper and
Panorama in British Columbia.
