Top 3 Snowiest Ski Resorts in Canada
We gave you our round-up of the snowiest ski resorts in North America, and you asked for more. With the strong American dollar exchange rate in Canada, now’s the right time to travel to our neighbor resorts in the North. To that end, here’s our unofficial picks for top three Canadian ski resorts that receive the most amount of snow:
Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia | Average snowfall: 470 inches
Whistler Blackomb is famously known as the largest ski resort in North America with more than 8,000 skiable acres spread over two mountains. What’s even better is that Whistler’s also known for diverse terrain, and a great deal of snow – nearly 500 feet on average. With record-breaking powder dumps on high mountains, powder-filled bowls, and smooth corduroy, you can ski for days on end and not travel the same terrain twice. Hundreds of bars, restaurants, spas and shopping in the Village make for a lively après and a well-rounded ski vacation.
Whitewater, British Columbia | Average snowfall: 472 inches
Located on the Powder Highway in British Columbia, Whitewater is rated top powder mountain on the continent by Powder magazine. The bottom line is that snow conditions are ideal. What distinguishes this mountain from the rest is that despite its perfect winter environment, the resort has managed to keep its mountain charm of days long past. Snow lovers will revel in powder stashes served by three chairs and one base lodge, without the hoopla and crowds of more popular resorts.
Revelstoke, British Columbia | Average snowfall: 551 inches
Free skiers from around the globe know about the big powder being served daily at Revelstoke. The ultimate heli- and cat-skiing destination, Revelstoke averages 50 feet of snow annually, spread over a gargantuan 500,000+ acre expanse and steepest vertical drop in North America at 5,620-ft. With all that powder and space to thrash in it, Revelstoke is the only mountain resort in the world to offer lift, cat, heli and backcountry skiing all from one village base. A ski vacation in Revelstoke is a must for those who enjoy big thrills in excellent conditions.
