Whistler Creekside Gondola and Big Red Express Replacements: Low-Key But Effective Upgrades
Whistler Blackcomb’s 2022-23 lift upgrades aren’t flashy, but they do provide critical capacity enhancements in busy lower and mid-mountain areas.
Mountain Review: Lake Louise (2021-2023)
Despite the occasional extreme cold spell, this Banff resort’s jaw-dropping vistas and varied terrain distinguish it from competitors.
Mountain Review: Banff Sunshine Village (2019-2022)
This absolutely striking resort has consistent snow and terrain for everyone, although frigid spells are common during the core season.
Mountain Review: Mount Norquay
Banff’s town hill is way too small to be a destination in its own right, but it offers a local vibe and empty slopes.
Mountain Review: Kicking Horse (2019-2022)
This Interior British Columbia resort exemplifies the best natural traits of the Canadian Rockies but won’t be for everyone.
Mountain Review: Revelstoke (2022-2023)
This one-of-a-kind Canadian Rockies resort should be on every expert’s bucket list, but it feels like it hasn’t been developed to its full potential.
Mountain Review: Fernie
It’s hard not to love this remote Canadian resort on a good day, but a combination of variable weather, wide-ranging logistical shortcomings, and outdated infrastructure put it at a major disadvantage compared to its cutthroat Rockies competition.
Mountain Review: Big White
It may not be as tough or striking as the best in the Canadian Rockies, but this British Columbia resort still has a lot to offer.
Ratings Adjustment: Tremblant and Mount Baker Snow Scores
Both resorts maintain very distinct snow characteristics compared to the other mountains we’ve reviewed so far, and after following their past few winters, we believe a few refinements are in order.
Initial Impressions: Lake Louise
We visited this Banff SkiBig3 resort to get some powdery early-season turns in, but the extraordinarily frigid temperatures caught us off guard.
