For skiers wanting to find new and exciting places to hit the slopes, head north to Canada. Vacation resorts abound throughout America's neighbor to the North giving skiers unlimited options for skiing and snowboarding.

Canada Romantic Getaway
The west coast is home to Canada's romantic getaway ski resort: Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, Canada. Travel guides have continually named Whistler Blackcomb the No. 1 ski resort in North America — and it is worthy of its reputation. The Canadian vacation resort has more than 8,100 skiable acres and more than 200 trails across two mountains that are connected by a quaint pedestrian village. Thirty-three lifts, including two high-speed gondolas and six high-speed quads, ensure lines are generally short and move faster than just about any ski resort in Canada. Vacation rental property includes everything from hotels and condominiums to luxury chalets and mountain homes. Nightlife is always exciting and the locals are extremely friendly and welcoming — a trait often uncommon in many ski towns. Couples can spend their days on the slopes and then relax at one of the village's numerous restaurants with international staff from around the globe.

Ski Banf, Alberta Canada Vacation Rental
For the diehard skier, head to Alberta, Canada. A weekend getaway to this legendary ski resort located in Banff National Park at Mount Norquay is best for the elite skier. The resort has a long-standing reputation for its challenging skiing, which includes a quintet of super-steep, mogul-studded freefalls served by the original Norquay double chair right at the base. For hardcore Norquay regulars, no runs anywhere can match Upper Lone Pine and Gun Run, two thrilling black-diamond runs as demanding as any trails in Canada. Vacation rental property includes traditional mountain lodges, luxury hotels and condominiums.
