Canada is a country that hosts a number of award-winning top ski resorts. They are easy to access since most mountain ski resorts are no more than a one to two hour drive from any major airport. Many of the Canadian ski resorts have numerous features that draw avid skiers, such as diverse terrain, legendary powder, big verticals, spectacular scenery, high-speed lifts and much more.

Most of the Canadian resorts enjoy a long ski season that starts in early November and extends through to June. However, the skiing resorts which are located in Whistler, British Columbia (just north of Vancouver, BC), have seen even longer seasons. In the Whistler area, it is common for people to still be able to ski throughout the summer months. In addition, several of the top ones also utilize snow making equipment to ensure that mountain activities are available year-round.

One of the up-and-coming Canadian ski resorts today is the Fernie Alpine Resort. While this resort is still relatively unknown, it is becoming more and more popular. Fernie is located in the spectacular Kootenay Rockies and is only a three-hour drive from the city of Calgary, Alberta.

The Fernie Alpine Resort is known for the amazing powder snow that it boasts and because it is still unknown as one of the best Canadian ski resorts, you will rarely encounter crowded conditions on the slopes. This top one usually receives about 29 feet of snow per season, so even toward the end of the season there is plenty of white powder. Fernie does offer some challenging blue and green runs to keep the experienced skier stimulated. There are also many skiing opportunities for beginners among the 107 designated trails at this resort.
