Top List of Resorts in Canada

Speaking of top resorts in Canada, not surprisingly, the country is most famous for its ski resorts. They are many and varied in this snowy Northern country. The ski resorts offer many different ski terrains - the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia and Alberta, the Laurentian Mountains in Ontario and Quebec, and more. Given the long winters in the country, efforts have been made to cultivate even flat terrains into ski hills, and you can indeed find such, for example on the Saskatchewan prairies. Many hills and river valleys have been turned into ski hills in the absence of mountains.
