Snow and winter adventures

Ski and winter holidays.
The Great White North.

Canada is renowned for its snow. It’s one of the best places in the world to ski, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to winter’s pleasures in the Great White North. As well as skiing and snowboarding, there’s snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, or simply walking in a winter wonderland: quintessential Canadian experiences not to be missed.

Snowshoeing

The easiest way to experience a winter wonderland: if you can walk, you can snowshoe.

Red Mountain Resort

One of the oldest ski hills in North America, with a history going back to the early 1900s. In the Monashee Mountains just north of the US border, Red Mountain is known for light, dry powder, with around 750 cm of snow a year.

Sulphur Mountain

Named for the hot springs on its lower slopes, Sulphur Mountain has a gondola up to the summit ridge, with restaurants, observation decks and views along the Bow Valley. A boardwalk continues to the top of Sanson’s Peak.

Dog sledding

Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours, pioneers of sled dog touring and racing in the Bow Valley, ran their first dog sledding tours more than a quarter of a century ago.
