THE BEST TIME IS FAMILY TIME
British Columbia may be famous for its epic verticals and powder-filled
glades, but it’s also one of the most family-friendly ski destinations around.
Resorts here have a great mix of terrain, plus some of the most extensive ski
schools and beginners’ areas. Add affordable slope-side condos, great restaurants,
and activities to make the kids smile, and you have the perfect family ski trip.
SKI
STAY
PLAY
Different family members like different types of fun.
The little ones are probably ready for the bunny
slope, you want serious vertical, and the teens are
itching for the half-pipe. Well, that’s no problem
here. Terrain in British Columbia runs green to
double black diamond and everything in between.
British Columbia’s ski resorts make it easy to bring the
family, with affordable slope-side accommodation
and a great choice of condos and chalets. It’s easy
to find accommodations that come complete with
family-friendly features like kitchens, multiple
bedrooms, in-suite laundry and even hot tubs.
Of course, just because there is a kitchen doesn’t
mean you have to use it – pizza, burgers and sushi
are usually a just a step, or a phone call, away.
Kids like après too. From indoor rock climbing
and movie nights, to marshmallow roasts, ice
skating, playgrounds, tube parks and horse-drawn
sleigh rides, British Columbia’s ski resorts keep
the all-ages fun going until bedtime.
Beginners’ terrain parks, Magic Carpets and top-notch
instructors can have your little snowplowers happily
carving turns in no time. And if your teens want to
do their own thing, feel comfortable letting them
roam free – almost all runs lead back to the village.
Plus, childcare services mean that mom and dad
can sample the resorts’ grown-up options. How
about some fine dining, a cozy pub, or a romantic
sleigh ride?
