CANADA SKI HOLIDAYS

For some skiers, Canada is a once in a lifetime ski destination, but for others it is the ultimate ski location to be enjoyed as often as possible.

In  western Canada’s mountain region, the adjoing provinces of British Columbia and Alberta contain a sprinkling of world class ski resorts. In Alberta's Rocky Mountains are BanffLake Louise and Jasper. While across in the coast mountains of BC's 'Sea to Sky Country'  sits the iconic Whistler.

Whichever ski resort you choose Canadian skiing offers a touch of luxury with first class ski conditions with wide tree lined pistes, knee deep immaculate snow and exceptional service with true warmth and friendliness. Once you have experienced Canadian Skiing it is easy to see why, anything less is a compromise. Put simply, Canada is the perfect skiing destination for any discerning skier.
