"The Pacific Ranges (of the Coast Mountains) and the Kootenay Rockies (of the Canadian Rockies) act like a perfect, high-altitude catcher's glove for the wet storms generated over the northern Pacific Ocean, which translates to massive amounts of powder across an incredible variety of terrain. That makes Canada's westernmost province a skier's paradise, with adrenaline-spiking high alpine bowls, majestic forest glades, and cruise-y groomers where you can fine-tune your carves."
"Whistler Blackcomb is not just a ski resort; it's a sort of alpine universe unto itself. It is the largest resort in North America, boasting 8,171 acres of skiable terrain. Connecting two massive mountains via the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola, the scale here is staggering. It offers everything from high-alpine glacial bowls and razor-edge chutes to tree runs and terrain parks. The village pulses with a ton of energy, and the restaurant and après scene are also top-notch."
