Canadian Rockies Ski Trip

Ever wondered what it's like to live in a snow globe? We did too, and trust us, it's just as fun as it looks. This Western Canada ski tour brings you right to the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where the slopes are wide open, covered in powder and the sun is most likely to shine on you. Skiing Sunshine, Lake Louise and Kicking Horse has always been a bucket list item for self respecting skiers and snowboarders. Our ski tour in Banff boasts an exceptional selection of restaurants ranging from "which fork do I start with?", to jostling around a counter for your midnight goat cheese and elk gravy poutine. Banff Avenue is world famous for shopping, cultural souvenirs, mouth watering sweets and rowdy nightlife, as if skiing some of Canada's best mountains didn't tire you out already. If you prefer to relax, Banff is home to an incredible selection of spas, hot springs and cafés. The second half of this guided ski vacation visits the rustic mountain town of Golden, British Columbia, home of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. This classic Canadian ski town features some of the best advanced ski terrain on the planet, including a lifetime supply of steeps for you to challenge yourself on. Your guide will help you find the best run for the conditions and your personal skiing ability, making this Canadian Rockies ski tour the perfect place for you to hone your skills in a fun and relaxed setting. Before creating this ski tour, we always seemed to keep gravitating back to the Rockies for their irresistible charm. Now is your chance to find out why we keep coming back.
