CANADA FOR
WINTER FUN

Guaranteed snow and dramatic terrain make Canada a mecca for winter
sports lovers. Brave the chilly temperatures and dive into this stunning
ice-clad landscape, whether that means racing down ski slopes, exploring
the woods on snowshoes, or enjoying a swift dogsled ride.
Ski Time
Glorious white­powder slopes,
challenging runs, and dramatic
scenery make the Canadian
Rockies world­renowned for
skiing. The biggest resort in the
whole of North America is
Whistler Blackcomb (p114),
where the presence of the
Horstman Glacier means
year­round skiing and
snowboarding. Quebec’s
Laurentian Mountains (p300)
also offers great skiing in
Eastern Canada.
