Ski Resorts in Canada

Canada is a skier’s and snowboarder’s dream – and so of course it is for us. We have been to the famous Canadian ski resorts like Whistler, Banff/Lake Louise, Sunshine Village or Fernie and have traveled the legendary Powder Highway with insider tips like Red Mountain and Whitewater. We know exactly where the slopes or freeriding is best. And we tell you why Sun Peaks, Revelstoke, Panorama or Kicking Horse are ideal to combine with the ultimate powder experience – heliskiing in Canada!

Selected Ski Resorts worldwide

Our reporters not only know North America. They also report on selected freeride hotspots in the Alps, from tours through Norway or from exotic destinations like Iceland or Japan. On the road they met stars of the international ski and snowboard scene, for an interview or to go powding together.

Secret tips, travel competitions and much more

In addition, we provide you with plenty of information to help you plan your own ski trip to Canada. We show you how to find the best ski area and resort for you and how to get in shape for powder in North America. In our magazine, you’ll also find some of the best travel companies to make your dream trip to Canada come true.
