Whistler
This west coast mountain resort is world-renowned as being North America’s biggest and best - both in area & vertical. The 216km of pistes cover two mountains & are linked by an impressive high-speed lift system. Whether a complete novice or a downhill Olympian, there is an amazing choice of well laid out, maintained & signposted slopes. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced skiers & boarders revel in the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls available.
The accommodation Nelson feature is in one of the two most conveniently located, pedestrianised village areas, each lying at the foot of their respective mountain & a short ten minute walk apart. Both Blackcomb & Whistler Villages are teeming with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars & clubs & there are many exciting on & off slope activities to try out. It’s a party town with a relaxed west coast buzz & a roaring après-ski scene.

There are greens & blues that weave their way gently down from the top of the Golden Eagle Express Gondola providing ample entertainment for beginners - but more testing terrain is where Kicking Horse really shines fro your ski holiday. Untracked powder in the numerous bowls & glades flanking the steep ridges. Adrenaline junkies can charge down a 4,000 foot ski out, the second longest in Canada, Kicking Horse will no doubt challenge you for the duration of your ski holiday.
There’s a great deal of Canadian history here; right now there’s rapid growth with investment in both lifts & high quality slope side accommodation. The reason for all the investment is the resort’s ideal geographic position for ski holidays- which means it gets ample supplies of light, dry snow - it’s ‘champagne powder heaven’.
Stay here for your ski holiday in Canada for easy access to great slopes, good quality accommodation & top rate restaurants. If you opt for ski or board tuition then video analysis is included for all 6 day ski holiday courses.
