Every province in Canada has a few ski resorts but British Columbia has the most, with 55 ski resorts.

Who Is It Best For?

What's It Like To Stay Here?

Ski Canada and the accommodation is spacious and maintained to a high standard. You can choose to stay in hotels, self-catering apartments or backcountry lodges. There's a great choice of food in resort which is plentiful and reasonably priced with the East Coast having a French influence.
