Top Canada Ski Resorts

Canada never has a shortage of snowfall and therefore there is never a shortage of top Canada ski resorts. Many ski enthusiasts will make the journey north every year because Canada has so many great resorts and who can blame them? One question that is often posed is, that with so many great ski resorts, which Canada ski resorts are the best of the best?

Canada ski resorts really stretch across the whole country and the best ski resorts in the eyes of many are located in British Columbia and Quebec. Here are the tops among all the Canadian greats:

• Whistler/Blackcomb Resort: Found in the British Columbia Mountains, this resort is only about two hours away from Vancouver. There is over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain which means there is going to be a slope to challenge you no matter what your skill level may currently find yourself to be at. At the base of the mountain is a village that caters to the many visitors that come every year with award winning lodging and dining and plenty to do. With great skiing and so much more this resort is surely one of Canada's greats.

• Kicking Horse Resort: As far as skiing goes, this British Columbia resort offers the best verticals in the Rockies. Known for its powdery snow and scenic setting of the Purcell Range of the Rockies, this ski destination is one that every ski enthusiast should try to get to. A trip down these slopes will leave you in utter ecstasy for some time to come.

• Mont Tremblant Resort: Located in Quebec and only a one hour drive from Montreal, this ski resort has something for everyone. Known to play host to a good number of tourists per year, the only gripe with this ski mecca is that it tends to be a bit more on the expensive side, but it is always a hopping place and the slopes are never at a loss for magic or action. The village at the bottom of the slopes caters to locals and visitors alike and makes for a warm welcome when you are not shushing down the sloped.

• Le Massif Resort: While the number of skiable acres is only a scant 410, you can rest assured that this doesn't mean a shortage on challenges. In fact, this ski resort is more tailored to the advanced skier versus the beginner, though there are some slopes for the beginners as well. It is in close proximity to Quebec City so there is no shortage of things to do when you are not hitting the slopes. Although, you shouldn't expect to do much more than ski at this resort as many of the locals peg this mountain as their favorite to ski.

There are many other ski resorts in Canada, but these four will be on virtually everyone's top five lists. While you simply can't go wrong when you choose Canada as your ski destination, you can really hit the mark when you visit one of these top ski resorts that the beautiful country has to offer.
