• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Skiing & Snowboarding in Canada.
There is nothing
quite like the untouched wilds for pure freedom, and the Canadian Rockies offer
countless acres of freedom in the form of untracked powder. As the home to
some of the finest skiing and snowboarding anywhere, the Canadian Rockies
call to snow riders from around the world. More than 120 million years in
the making has seen to that. Ok, ski legend and filmmaker Warren Miller has
helped, often featuring the Canadian backcountry in his annual snow riding
films, but most of the credit falls with mother nature.
Canada is a hotbed for heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping action. Geographically, it is the second largest country in the world and accordingly, it offers one of the most diverse landscapes in the world. Canada is known internationally as a world-class skiing and snowboarding destination due to long northern winters, heavy snowfall and a wild assortment of mountains and peaks that span the nation. But the country also offers many other activities that cater to hardcore thrill-seeking individuals. From the tides of the Pacific to the flatlands of the Western Canadian prairies, this enormous country has the right fix for any adrenaline junkie.
Canada leads the world in Heli-Skiing, and in the Canadian Rockies the expertise and years of experience of the heli ski operators really pays off for those seeking this type of adventure experience. In addition the powder of the Canadian Rockies is unique and such conditions cannot be found
anywhere else. The pure atmosphere and untouched landscape of the high Rockies
defies description. Heli-Skiing is an expensive proposition, but very few people
come away from the experience regretting how much it cost them.
People need something to smile about during the winter and swooshing down snowy slopes on a pair of skis or a snowboard seems to do the trick.

It's something that the entire family can enjoy and even better when ski resorts

Additionally, Canada has a much longer season compared to other places.
Many locations
in Quebec are ideal for skiing. The mountains are some of the oldest in the
world, and present some of the most varied terrain imaginable. There are many

nightlife is as varied as the slopes, and caters to all tastes. All things
considered, Quebec has a lot to keep visitors entertained, both on and off
the slopes.
British Columbia offers a flurry of alternatives to the traditional ski holiday

such as heli- and snowcat skiing are well known already in the snow world, their
popularity continues because of their potential to offer runs in uncharted territory
