British Columbia, Canada: Snow holidays that deliver on every level

Make core memories this winter with our exclusive Early Bird Specials

British Columbia is a place where snow holidays feel expansive – where the terrain is bigger, the powder deeper, and the experiences more rewarding. From the towering Coast Mountain peaks of Whistler Blackcomb, to the hidden gems along the legendary Powder Highway, BC offers an incredible variety of terrain and snow holiday styles. Whether you’re looking for a big-mountain holiday with all the trimmings, or an off-the-beaten-path mountain town full of character and authentic experiences, this part of Canada delivers in spades.

Read on as we delve deeper into what makes British Columbia so special, along with our exclusive 2025/26 Snow Holiday Deals to get you there this winter.

Vancouver
Whistler's PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola

Vancouver to Whistler

Any BC snow holiday starts strong with a stop in Vancouver. Nestled between ocean and mountains, this vibrant city is a perfect pre- or post-ski destination. Spend a day riding bikes around the Stanley Park Seawall, browsing the stalls at Granville Island Market, or walking the suspended bridges at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. 

When you’ve had your city fix, mountain magic lies just 1.5 hours up the Sea to Sky Highway. Whistler Blackcomb is North America’s largest ski resort, with over 8,000 acres of terrain, three glaciers, and a buzzing Pedestrian Village to match. Ride the iconic PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, ski the endless bowls, then wind down with a soak in the outdoor hot pools at Scandinave Spa or a zipline through the snow-dusted forest canopy.

The Thompson Okanagan - Wine Country Meets Winter Wonderland

Tucked in the heart of British Columbia’s interior, the Thompson Okanagan region is known for its vineyards—but come winter, it transforms into a snow lover’s dream with three distinct resorts offering very different experiences.

Just a quick flight (or scenic 5 hour drive) from Whistler is Kamloops, your access point to Sun Peaks, Canada’s second-largest ski area and one of the most family-friendly in the country. Just 45 minutes drive from the airport, three interconnected mountains encircle a charming ski-through village, making it ideal for relaxed, easy-access skiing. The variety of terrain caters to all skill levels, but it’s especially suited to families and intermediate skiers looking for long cruisers, mellow glades, and a laid-back alpine atmosphere.

Just 2.5 hours away, SilverStar offers a more advanced edge. Known for its steep fall-line terrain and tree skiing, it’s a favourite for skiers and riders looking to push themselves. The backside of the mountain delivers challenging black and double-black runs, while the colourful, Victorian-inspired mid-mountain village gives the resort its own quirky personality.

Meanwhile, Big White lives up to its name with some of the most consistent snowfall in the region and an impressive network of wide-open groomers. It’s particularly well suited to first-timers, young families, and snow enthusiasts seeking convenience – thanks to true ski-in/ski-out lodging and a pedestrian-friendly village. Terrain parks, tubing, and non-ski activities round out its broad appeal.

The Powder Highway - BC's Ultimate Ski Safari

If you’re craving an authentic Canadian ski adventure, BC’s Powder Highway is your ticket. This incredible 800km road trip route through the Kootenay Rockies connects eight legendary resorts, linking raw adventure with BC’s small-town hospitality, and some of the most celebrated snow conditions in the world.

Revelstoke is a magnet for serious skiers, boasting the most vertical in North America and a reputation for deep powder and steep, technical terrain. It’s the place to go for backcountry lines, big mountain descents, and heli-ski access right from town.

Kicking Horse delivers similarly steep thrills – Known for its massive alpine bowls and chutes, it also rewards visitors with sweeping views and one of Canada’s highest-elevation dining experiences at the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant.

Panorama offers a different pace – perfectly groomed cruisers, high-alpine views, and one of North America’s largest on-mountain hot springs. It’s ideal for those who want to combine relaxation with resort-style skiing.

Kimberley, with its sunny weather and uncrowded slopes, is a hidden gem for families and beginners. Its welcoming atmosphere and scenic runs make it a great place to slow down and enjoy the ride.

Fernie stands out for its snow quality and terrain diversity, with five alpine bowls, deep tree skiing, and a laid-back community vibe. It’s a favourite among families and advanced skiers alike who are seeking a resort with soul.

Whitewater, near Nelson, is all about the powder. Known for its consistent snowfall and backcountry culture, it attracts purists seeking a grassroots, no-frills ski experience and a welcoming, down-to-earth mountain town.

RED Mountain is fiercely independent and refreshingly uncrowded, with over 3,800 acres of skiable terrain and some of the best tree skiing in the province. It’s a local favourite that punches well above its weight.

Add in off-slope fun—like snowmobiling, dogsledding, ice fishing, or soaking in the natural mineral pools of  Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and you’ve got the perfect balance of adrenaline, fun adventure and rejuvenation.

Ride the North with Northern Escape Heli Skiing

For experienced skiers and snowboarders chasing deep powder and remote terrain, Northern Escape Heli Skiing is an unforgettable way to elevate your BC snow holiday. We recommend pairing it with a warm-up week in Whistler to adjust to the snow and altitude – then heading north for some next level adventure. Choose from three exceptional lodge experiences: the Mountain Lodge with single rooms and a new outdoor spa featuring a hot tub and sauna; Yellow Cedar Lodge, now one of the best-value heli options in Canada; or the ultra-private Skeena Spey Lodge, perfect for small groups seeking exclusive access, a private chef, and unlimited vertical. With small group sizes, high service standards, and access to over 5,500 square kilometres of terrain, this is BC at its boldest.
