Featured Canadian Snowsport Resorts
Sunshine Mountain Lodge – Alberta
You don’t commute to the slopes here — you wake up already in the alpine. Perched inside Banff National Park, Sunshine Mountain Lodge is the only ski-in/ski-out stay in the region. Step out the door and into over 3,000 acres of terrain. Pow in the morning, hot tub under starlight, and no traffic in between. This is pure Canadian Rockies immersion, and it comes with fire pits, fireplaces, and first tracks.
Price per night: $320+
Banff National Park, Alberta
Revelstoke Mountain Resort – British Columbia
Revelstoke doesn’t just top the charts — it drops the biggest vertical in North America. This is where you chase storm cycles, link leg-burners from summit to base, and book a heli drop before breakfast. The mountain’s raw size is only matched by its quiet confidence. Stay slope-side or tucked into the trees — either way, you’re here for the fall lines.
Price per night: $285+
Revelstoke, British Columbia
Le Massif de Charlevoix – Quebec
You’ve never skied with river views like this. Le Massif drops fast from forested ridges to the edge of the St. Lawrence — and that’s just part of the pull. This is Quebec’s mountain with edge: steep trails, wind-swept peaks, and a lodge that blends modern design with real alpine character. It’s where snow meets shoreline, and where east coast riders go to prove it’s not just a west coast game.
Price per night: $260+
Charlevoix, Quebec
Fernie Alpine Resort – British Columbia
When a place gets nearly 30 feet of snow a year, it’s not a secret for long — but Fernie still feels like a find. This old mining town turned deep-snow haven is packed with bowls, tree runs, and trail variety that hits every skill level. Stay slope-side for zero commute or kick back in town, just minutes from the lifts.
Price per night: $240+
Fernie, British Columbia
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort – British Columbia
This one isn’t for the faint-legged. Kicking Horse is all sharp ridgelines, steep chutes, and champagne powder. The kind of terrain that earns respect — and repeat trips. After bombing a bowl, grab lunch at the mountaintop restaurant, then finish the day in a cabin built for warmth and recovery. It’s wild, it’s vertical, and it’s yours to tackle.
Price per night: $270+
Golden, British Columbia
Blue Mountain Resort – Ontario
Ontario riders know the name. Just two hours from Toronto, Blue Mountain is the biggest vertical drop in the province — and it packs in everything from terrain parks to tubing hills. Night skiing, heated walkways, and a full village vibe make it a legit winter escape without hopping on a plane.
Price per night: $180+
Blue Mountains, Ontario
Big White Ski Resort – British Columbia
Consistent snowfall. Long cruisers. A village that lights up after sunset. Big White lives up to its name — both in terrain and experience. It’s made for families, progression riders, and anyone who wants variety across every trail. Bonus: night skiing that actually feels like a new session, not just leftovers.
Price per night: $250+
Kelowna, British Columbia
Mont Tremblant – Quebec
If you’re chasing alpine energy without flying overseas, Mont Tremblant brings it. Cobblestone streets, a French mountain vibe, and over 100 trails across four faces. You’ll ride all day, then skate, snowshoe, and soak without leaving the base village. It’s a full-service winter resort with real roots and real snow.
Price per night: $210+
