If you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice fishing or just being outdoors in a winter wonderland then Canada tour packages that feature ski resorts in Alberta, British Columbia or the eastern provinces of Ontario and Quebec will be just what you are looking for. Canada ski vacations are very well known with the skiing community, and while they are not quite as famous as some of the European resorts they are quickly gaining excellent reputations. In reality all the provinces and territories have some ski destination spots, however the best known are in the west and immediately around the major cities of Toronto and Montreal in the eastern provinces.

Perhaps one of the best-known Canadian winter ski destinations is located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Just a few hours drive from the major metropolitan city of Calgary, Banff offers skiers everything they could imagine from wonderfully groomed runs through to helicopter skiing and snowboarding. The combined total of all the different ski areas, resorts and runs in the Banff area is 7,883 acres, making it the largest ski area in Canada. Banff ski vacations tend to book up very quickly once the ski season hits, so be sure to book well in advance if you want to get a hotel close to the lifts and the quaint town of Banff.
