This massive country has resorts on both its west and east coast – and each has a different appeal. One thing visitors can always rely on is pure powder snow. In fact Fernie, in British Columbia, gets so much snow it boasts about having no artificial snowmaking facilities. That's for the simple reason that it doesn't need any. Canadians are as renowned for their friendliness as they are for their Maple Leaf flag. And typically for North America, high levels of service and top quality accommodation are consistently the norm. The food is good in Canada and there's plenty of it. The cuisine has a French flavour on the east coast and, unusually for ski resorts, seafood (particularly west coast salmon) is both really good and inexpensive in comparison to Europe. We're not saying you can eat and drink like a king, but you can certainly try. As you would expect from the second largest country in the world, Canada has masses of ski resorts – and masses of good ones. It is also known as the backcountry capital of the world – so if you have a penchant for powder, look no further. Having said all that, there are a few drawbacks. If you're travelling from Europe, it's a long way to the west coast, so it's a good idea to go for longer than a week if you can. And although Western Canada's resorts have virtually guaranteed snow, it can rain in resorts or suffer from bitterly cold temperatures, -30°C in Banff/Lake Louise is not uncommon. On the east coast, much more accessible to Europeans, the snow is not such good quality, nor is it as consistent. And although the resorts do not run short, the snow can often be wind-blown and icy when the temperatures are low, or slushy when they rise. These resorts also tend to be smaller in both extent and vertical drop – but perfect for weekending townies from the big cities of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.   Ski holidays in Canada Where Any Banff Big White Fernie Kimberley Lake Louise Silver Star Whistler When Any day 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th 31st Dec 08 Jan 09 Feb 09 Mar 09 Apr 09 Duration Any duration 7 nights 10 nights 11 nights 14 nights Who Any size group1 person2 people3 people4 people5 people6 people7 people8 people9 people10 people11 people12 people13 people14 people15 people16 people17 people18 people19 people20 people21 people22 people23 people24 people25 people More search options   Best Canada ski deals Kimberley   10/1   £757 Banff   10/1   £762 Fernie Alpine Resort   10/1   £764 Jasper   10/1   £771 Lake Louise   10/1   £789 Whistler   3/1   £909 (£206 off)   February, March, April   Kimberley   14/3   £579 (£209 off) Jasper   14/3   £581 (£193 off) Banff   14/3   £587 (£213 off) Fernie Alpine Resort   14/3   £594 (£212 off) Lake Louise   14/3   £615 Whistler   21/2   £920 Ski Holidays in Canada  Whistler   Other ski holidays in this section  France  Austria  Switzerland  Italy  Canada  USA  Andorra  Alpe d'Huez ski holidays  Verbier ski holidays  Whistler ski holidays  Soldeu ski holidays  Les Arcs ski holidays  St Anton ski holidays  Val d'Isere ski holidays  La Plagne ski holidays  Méribel ski holidays  Val Thorens ski holidays  Les Deux Alpes ski holidays  La Rosierev  La Tania ski holidays  Les Gets ski holidays  Tignes ski holidays  Courchevel ski holidays  Chamonix ski holidays  Zermatt ski holidays  Whistler ski holidays  Bulgaria
