These Are Canada's Best Hidden-gem Ski Resorts

"Topping the list is Mount Maichen in Watson Lake, Yukon, with a near-perfect score of 4.9 out of a possible five. With only nine reviews on Google, the ski area has flown under the radar despite its beautiful views and affordable lift tickets. Nestled near Watson Lake in the southeast of the territory, Mount Maichen is run entirely by community volunteers. It is a small yet picturesque hill with just two T-bar lifts and nine groomed runs."

"Yukon has certified winter-wonderland status for much more than its quaint ski hills. After a day of laying tracks, the territory is a fantastic place to spend a night under the Northern Lights. It's also a wildlife mecca, with the highest percentage of protected and conserved land of all of Canada's provinces and territories, and twice as many moose as people."
