It’s no wonder British Columbia was the host province
for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games.
You’ve got to ski it to believe it.Go skiing in British
Columbia to experience epic snowfalls, huge verticals,
expansive backcountry and diverse terrain. Spectacular
scenery and a mild winter climate provide the backdrop
for skiing and snowboarding at winter resorts and
family-friendly ski hills.
BC ski resorts offer everything from black-diamond
steeps and chutes, to wide-open terrain and tree lines.
Most resorts have ski-in/ski-out accommodations,
rentals and lessons.
Mountains reign supreme in British Columbia, and in
the winter, they’re coated in snow.
British Columbia has terrific skiing and snowboarding
resorts throughout the province as well as backcountry
skiing opportunities in national and provincial parks.
Whistler Blackcomb is one of the top-rated ski resorts
in North America and was the host mountain resort
of the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games. For
some of the world’s best powder and heli-skiing, head
to the Bugaboos in the Kootenay Rockies region.
Both cat-skiing and heli-skiing were pioneered in
the Kootenay Rockies region, which is also home to
some of the best snowmobiling terrain in the world.
Mackenzie in the Northern British Columbia region and
Sicamous in the Thompson Okanagan region are also
snowmobile hot spots.
Incredible cross-country skiing terrain is found
throughout BC, which has more than 50 designated
nordic ski areas.
