Region Guide: Canada
If it is snowsure skiing you are after, Canada is the place to go.

The Canadian resorts would class it a bad season if there was less than a metre of base snow!

The emphasis is on having a fun time in a truly wonderful winter wonderland but it can be quite chilly.

Lift queue etiquette and genuinely helpful instructors, guides and lift attendants make for an enjoyable holiday.

Banff, Lake Louise and Whistler are the most famous resorts - although the French-speaking Tremblant is becoming increasingly popular.
