Ski Seasons and Ski Runs

The ski season in Canada usually begins in December and runs until mid April - weather permitting. Each ski hill has a selection of green (easy), blue (intermediate) and black diamond (difficult) ski runs for downhill skiing and snowboardiing. At some of our epic mountain resorts  we have Double Black runs as well. All serviced by a network of chair lifts, gondolas, t-bars and tow ropes.

Canada Ski Resorts 

The ski hills in Canada range in size, services and amenities. There are small ski hills with minimum services and a select number of ski runs. There are large mountain resort villages, designated townships, with every service under the sun. Most Canada ski hills have a lodge and provide ski rentals and ski lessons. The larger ski mountain resorts are self contained villages with services including accommodations, gift shops, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, ski shops, liquor store, entertainment, retail stores and attractions.
