Classic resort skiing with world-class views.

Downhill skiing is what most people think of when they imagine a day on the slopes—chairlifts, groomed runs, cozy lodges, and plenty of terrain for all skill levels. And British Columbia is one of the best places in the world to do it.

From big-name destinations like Whistler Blackcomb to smaller, family-run resorts with hidden powder stashes, BC’s ski scene has something for everyone. Whether you’re learning for the first time or carving black diamonds, you’ll find the right mountain here.

What to Expect

Ski resorts in BC are known for reliable snow, long runs, and stunning mountain scenery. You’ll have access to rentals, lessons, restaurants, and après-ski spots all in one place. Some resorts even offer night skiing, terrain parks, and tubing.

What You’ll Need

If you’re new, you can rent everything on-site—boots, skis, helmet, and clothing. If you’re more experienced, bring your own gear and chase the good snow days. Either way, all you really need is a lift ticket and a love for the mountains.
