Snowboarding in Canada

Snowboarding in Canada gives visitors the ultimate experience, and promises endless terrain, huge peaks and world-class powder conditions. Thanks to the country's extreme northern location, snowboarding in Canada boasts abundance of snow and enormous mountain ranges, and with many direct flights now available from the UK, world-class resorts such as Whistler Blackcomb, Lake Louise and Fernie are more accessible than ever.

 

From first-timers to accomplished heli-boarders, there's something for everyone on a snowboarding holiday in Canada. The country's ski resorts boast huge verticals, expertly-groomed slopes, and modern and efficient lift systems that manage to transport riders expertly and efficiently around the vast terrain found here. Snowboarding in Canada features perhaps the best resort in the world, Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, the biggest resort in North America and home to the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympic Games. There are over 200 well-groomed trails to choose from here as well as tree-skiing and open powder bowls, the highest vertical in North America and the most advanced lift system. Other resorts for snowboarding in Canada include Banff, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Fernie and Jasper, also on the west coast, and Mont Tremblant on the east.

 

Snowboarding in Canada can also offer the exhilarating experience of heli-boarding - a great way for adventurous and more advanced riders to access the deep untracked powder that lies away from the pistes. The resorts are also home to a number of progressive snowparks, with Whistler, Lake Louise, and Mont Tremblant offering first-rate parks - the ideal arena for freestyle skills.
