Travel Deals To Ski Resorts In Canada, North America

Canada is known to be one of the top destinations in North America for snowboarding and ski vacations. After all, the country is known as the "Great White North". It is also the biggest country in the world when it comes to landmass even though it has a very small population. This means there are plenty of wide-open and non-crowded spaces tucked away in the Rocky Mountains of the west, the Long Range Mountains of the far east and at various points in between. Excellent ski resorts are located in every province from coast to coast and large amounts of snow and long winters ensure a long, prosperous season every year. Although there are hundreds of ski resorts in Canada, there are a few that stand out from the rest and are considered some of the top skiing areas on the planet. From west to east, below is a sample of some of the best ski destinations visitors can enjoy in Canada.

Starting in the far west of Canada, there is "Whistler-Blackcomb Ski Resort". This vacation place is the largest ski resort on the continent and has made it into the top ten list of best ski resorts in North America time and time again and for good reason. Two million people visit Whistler each year for the spectacular skiing on over 200 trails across 8,000 acres of terrain. The "Banff-Lake Louise Ski Resort" is located right in the center of the spectacular Rocky Mountains of Banff National Park. With 139 mapped trails across 4,200 acres, there is something for skier of all levels. At "Marmot Basin Ski Resort" in Jasper National Park, skier enjoy a vertical drop of 3,000 feet, 86 trails across 1,675 acres and, of course, majestic, panoramic views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.

There are also many world-class and well-known ski resorts in Eastern Canada and, although the winters tend to be a bit milder in that part of the country, the skiing is just as fantastic as it is in the west. "Mont Tremblant Ski Resort" near Montreal, Quebec is the most popular ski area in Eastern Canada. The ski area is home to an elevation of 2,870 feet (875 meters), 95 runs across 654 acres of terrain and 14 state-of-the-art lifts all surrounded by the natural beauty of Mont Tremblant National Park. At "Blue Mountain Ski Resort" in Collingwood, Ontario, visitors enjoy 720 feet of vertical trails that are spread out over a two-and-a-half-mile long ridge. Of the 34 trails that make up the ski area, there are some suitable for all ski levels. "Marble Mountain Ski Resort", Newfoundland is known for having the highest vertical drop in all of Atlantic Canada and the resort also happens to be located near the snowiest city in Canada, Corner Brook, which means great skiing and a long season. Winter sports fans enjoy 37 trails that include several mogul runs and other challenging terrain and trails suitable for beginners and intermediate sportsmen. A terrain park is the place where snowboarders are also welcome.

For skier who wish to stay overnight or for an extended period of time at any of these ski resorts mentioned above, there is no shortage of great places to stay no matter what one's budget or taste may be.
