The 9 Biggest Ski Resorts in Western Canada - SnowBrains

"Western Canada is home to some of the best skiing in the world. From the picturesque Rockies to the breathtaking coastal mountains, Western Canada provides some of the best scenery of any region on earth. Not only are these ski areas picturesque, but they are also big. This region is home to some of the biggest ski resorts on the continent. Not only do these resorts boast impressive vertical drops, but they also provide some of the biggest skiable footprints in North America."

"Panorama sits in the Purcell mountains of British Columbia along the famous powder highway. Like many other resorts in this region, Panorama provides skiers with world-class views. The resort also boasts the seventh biggest vertical drop in North America, making for some truly leg-burning laps. The beginner terrain at Panorama is limited, but where Panorama really shines is its intermediate terrain."

"Also located off the powder highway in British Columbia is Revelstoke. With the biggest vertical drop in North America, Revelstoke is truly a mammoth of a mountain. The reason it does not slot in higher on this list is that it is a relatively new resort, only opening in 2007. The other resorts on this list have had decades to expand their infrastructure over time. Revelstoke is still a young resort and will most likely slowly expand over time, like many of these other resorts."

Western Canada offers world-class skiing across the Rockies and coastal mountains, combining spectacular scenery with some of North America’s largest ski areas. Resorts in the region feature impressive vertical drops and expansive skiable footprints. Panorama in the Purcell Mountains sits on the Powder Highway, delivers world-class views, the seventh-largest vertical drop in North America, limited beginner terrain, standout intermediate blue cruisers, and advanced upper-mountain bowls and glades. Revelstoke, also on the Powder Highway, has the largest vertical drop in North America, very long runs, a more compact terrain footprint, and remains a relatively new resort since opening in 2007.
