WINTER ACTIVITIES Skiing & Snowboarding 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. 6 hellobc.com
