From the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, Canada offers any ski enthusiast some of the best winter terrain available. Not only is the Canadian skiing season longer than most other places (most hills are open five full months from November until April), it is much more affordable than other winter ski destinations. A rough estimate of the average price for a lift ticket for a day in a Canadian resort ranges from $25CDN up to $75CDN, for a world-class resort such as Whistler.
The climate in Canada remains relatively cool as the average temperature remains consistently under zero degrees Celsius. Although the temperature is cold, the sun is usually shining; with the right clothing (adding layers), skiers can enjoy real snow in the sun. However, don’t forget to wear sunscreen as the high altitude will guarantee a sun burn without proper covering.
