Skiing British Columbia

By: Ralph Hatchins

British Columbia is a skier's paradise, and if this is your sport, you should take your next holiday there. It has world class resorts, and gorgeous scenery, making it a perfect vacation destination. Just north of the United States, BC is the place to ski. The season generally lasts from November until April, and may even go into May at higher elevations. BC tourism is based greatly on their ski resorts, and a visit will show you why.

The best resort in BC is considered by most to be Whistler Blackcomb. Located only two hours north of cosmopolitan Vancouver, these two mountains offer not only fabulous skiing, but a great town to play in as well. Whistler village, nestled at the base of the ski trails is filled with great shops, many wonderful restaurants, bars, and fun filled nightlife. You can also see a number of homes valued at over a million dollars. If you aren't a skier, you can still have a great time at Whistler.

Even if you do not ski or snowboard, you could easily enjoy yourself in Whistler village for days. The ski hills offer fantastic powder year round, and a huge variety of runs for beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders. The total terrain is 3,036 hectares with over 200 runs. You could be here for a week and barely ski the same runs twice! With 33 lifts, and many of them high speed, you get to spend more time skiing and less time waiting for lifts. Aim to spend at least a few days at Whistler Blackcomb to get the full ski resort experience.

Big White is another fabulous BC ski resort. Located approximately one hour outside of Kelowna, this fabulous family ski resort also has its own village with many great restaurants and bars. There are many accommodation possibilities, with everything from value hotel rooms to entire chalets complete with a private hot tub for the entire family. The hill boasts 15 lifts and over 118 trails. There is plenty to do other than skiing and snowboarding. If you enjoy cross-country skiing there are numerous trails for your use. There is also a tubing area and an ice-skating pond. Big White also offers excellent night skiing, and there is a significant discount off of the regular daily price.

There are other great BC ski resorts for you to visit. Silver Star is in Vernon, Sun Peaks is in Kamloops, Apex is located in Penticton, and there are smaller hills within 20 minutes of Vancouver. If you're looking for steep hills with deep powder, then Fernie is the place for you. British Columbia is a perfect place to take your winter vacation. Often the resorts offer packages that combine with airlines, to give you a great deal. You can usually grab a shuttle at the major airports and be driven straight to your resort of choice.
