Lets Ski Canada
Soft Snow Adventure
Big Snow, Small Crowds, and Cool towns
This adventure will take you to some of Canada's best kept secrets including Fairmont Hot Springs, Kimberley Alpine Resort, Whitewater and the historic Red Resort. Our journey take us though 2 National Parks, over high mountain passes, 3 different mountain ranges and even a boat ride (if you like).
Why are these Canada's Best Kept Secrets?
Big Snow... Average winter snowfall from 10 feet up to 40 plus feet. You’re thinking 10 feet isn’t much? The ceiling in your bedroom is just over 8 feet, and that’s tall - this means tons of soft snow.
Small Crowds... these areas are off the beaten track, so we enjoy uncrowded slopes and very small lift lines, if any at all.
Cool Towns... These are among Canada’s famous and funky ski towns. The people that live here, love the outdoors and love to share it with guests. The cool towns are Kimberley, Nelson and Rossland.
