The ski resorts in British Columbia are famous for having reliable powder snow. In fact the resort of Fernie gets such an abundance of snow that it boasts about having no artificial snowmaking facilities.
Situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Rockies, British Columbia skiing holidays are part of Canada's most diverse province, with unspoilt wilderness that can be explored from all of the ski resorts in British Columbia.
Away from the slopes, ski holidays in British Columbia offer the chance to try other activities, such as hiking, fishing and snowmobiling. If you are feeling adventurous, heli-skiing is very popular. When you want to wind down, the bars and restaurants are excellent, with everything from family orientated restaurants to sushi bars and nightclubs.
