December 6, 2010 – 9:56 am

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver has spurred interest in Canadian winter vacations. The popular Canadian travel sites list information on the best mountains for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and heli-skiing. Whistler Blackcomb, in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, Canada, proves to have it all, with over 8,000-acres of skiable terrain, alpine bowls, glaciers, 200 trails, and a one mile vertical rise.

One of North America’s top ski and snowboarding resorts, Whistler Blackcomb is about two hours north of Vancouver. The Sea-to-Sky Climb Train is an amazing way to get there. Running along the Sea-to-Sky Corridor, the train chugs through deep canyons, past jagged coastlines, and up steep grades of the British Columbian mountains, turning the three-hour trip into a scenic adventure.

The best snowboard websites from Trendlists.com give a wealth of information on choosing the right snowboard for any skill level. There are so many to choose from that it’s best to do a bit of research and know your skill level before purchasing one. Whistler Blackcomb rents many models of Burton snowboards, among the best in the world. Ski equipment can also be rented, making it far easier for traveling and packing purposes.

A sleigh ride through the wintry Canadian wonderland is a unique evening activity that is sure to be the highlight of the day. A crackling fire, hot chocolate, and warm, cozy blankets chase away the chill as Clydesdale-Percheron horses pull the sleigh past snow-covered mountains. With metal runners gliding effortlessly over the soft snow, this is a serene way to end a rigorous day of winter sports. Read More »
