Canada Weekend Getaway Options Abound
If you're looking for some outdoor adventure, head north to for a Canada weekend getaway. Whether it's skiing, fishing, sailing or hiking you prefer, Canada has it all.
Ski the Canadian Rockies
For a true ski bum, there's nothing quite like skiing Canada. Rental vacationproperties are numerous throughout America's neighbor to the North giving skiers unlimited options for skiing and snowboarding. The west coast is home to Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, Canada. Travel guides have continually named Whistler Blackcomb the No. 1 ski resort in North Americaand 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. 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.
A Vancouver Island Vacation
If you'd prefer to spend your time in Canada golf, fishing, boating, sailing, bungee jumping, kayaking, canoeing and even storm watching, a Vancouver Island vacation, in British Columbia is for you. The Island has fabulous scenery, sightseeing tours and outdoor activities, and Vancouver Island accommodations include a variety of establishments, including world-class Vancouver Island resorts that have it all, to wilderness campgrounds away from it all, to traditional Vancouver Island vacation rental properties, and bed and breakfasts.
