- INTERNATIONAL - - Ski Canada

Escape the world as you know it, Canada is calling. Crouched in the soaring peaks of the Coast and Rocky Mountains, Canada’s ski resorts cover the gamut from the enormous expanses of Whistler Blackcomb to the quaint resort towns of Silver Star and Fernie.

Western Canada is the Mecca for most snow sports addicts. Whistler Blackcomb, the largest ski resort in North America, is just two hours form the major international destination of Vancouver and attracts the lion’s share of visitors. People who have lived there for years still say they haven’t skied everything these mountains have to offer.

Most of Canada’s other major resorts nestle in the picturesque Rocky Mountains. In addition to fantastic scenery, Canada’s people will make you feel most welcome; Canadians are exceptionally friendly and are often compared to Aussies for their laid back approach and laconic sense of humour.

Another attraction of Canada aside from the skiing, is the proliferation of hot springs in the Columbia Valley. What better way to sooth and rejuvenate your tired, travel weary body.
