Best ski resorts in Canada

Whistler's Pacific maritime giant, the Banff National Park trio, the alpine steeps of Kicking Horse and Revelstoke, plus East-Coast Tremblant and Mont-Sainte-Anne: ten resorts that frame Canadian skiing in one list.

How we picked

Canada packs two ski countries onto one passport. The West runs maritime + continental in big chunks: Whistler Blackcomb on the Pacific with the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, the Banff park trio (Sunshine + Lake Louise + Marmot Basin) trading on altitude and national-park scenery, the BC Interior offering Big White and Sun Peaks for family powder, Revelstoke for the highest vertical in North America, Kicking Horse for the steepest in-bounds Canadian terrain. The East runs colder and smaller: Tremblant's pedestrian village 2 hr from Montreal, Mont-Sainte-Anne's St-Lawrence views 30 min from Quebec City. November-to-May seasons on both coasts.
