Skiing: recreation, sport, and mode of transportation that involves moving over snow by the use of a pair of long, flat runners, called skis, attached to shoes or boots. 

But to anyone who has skied or snowboarded before, it is truly much more than this.  The sport has grown to such proportions over the decades that millions of people worldwide go skiing every year.  The fantastic thing about skiing or snowboarding is its broad appeal to all skill and adventure levels.  You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy a rewarding day of exercise, challenge, and camaraderie, all while soaking up some of the most amazing scenery in the world. 

And skiing is more than just skiing.  Most resorts offer world-class shopping, fine dining, cultural events, and abundant nightlife to make your ski vacation complete.So whether you’re in it for the rush of a high-speed downhill decent or the calming sensation of taking some easy turns in a wide-open alpine environment, the ski destinations found on this site will provide you the opportunity to ski, shop, eat, and fully enjoy everything that comes with the ski lifestyle.  Below you will find a brief overview of the three major regions that we serve.

BC Interior:

Though lesser known in the region than its bigger cousins to the East and West, the interior of British Columbia boasts some fantastic ski destinations, accessible at a fraction of the price of Whistler or the Canadian Rockies.  Smaller lift lines, great snow, and beautiful weather mean destinations like Silver Star, Big White, and Apex should be on your list to ski.  The area’s high precipitation and low humidity combine to produce over 20 feet of light champagne powder annually. 

Canadian Rockies:

This region includes the world-famous ski destination of Banff, along with the lesser known (and less populous) Fernie and Kicking Horse Resorts.  This area is known for its wide-open bowls and tree-lined glades covered with fresh, dry, champagne powder.  Visitors enjoy unspoiled scenery, short lift lines, and guaranteed friendly local hospitality.

Whistler:

Whistler (and its fraternal twin, Blackcomb) are known for much more than just skiing.  The resort is consistently ranked by various trade publications as the #1 Resort in North America for its combination of terrain, weather, lodging, dining, après ski, family programs, scenery, and other factors.  Just two hours from downtown Vancouver along the scenic Sea to Sky highway, Whistler/Blackcomb will be the joint host (with Vancouver) of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
