With the addition of TELUS Park and the TELUS Park chairlift, 6 new runs in the Gem Lake and the Cliff Chair last season, Big White offers 7,355 acres (3,052 hectares) of terrain for every type of skier or snowboarder. The growth hasn't stopped, as the resort is building a 66 million gallon reservoir, to be called Lake Paul. This will provide water for the resort as well as snow-making for TELUS Park. There has been extensive grooming over the summer, so more runs can open earlier in the season. The village is also getting bigger and better, with the Big White Mountain Mart quadrupling in size, to include a 60 seat deli. As well the revamped kids centre will offer new daycare services, accommodation is expanding with 1,000 new beds and Carver's Restauarant is opening in the village this season.TerrainBig White averages 24.5 feet (7.5 metres) per year of fresh champagne powder.

Big White's abundant snowfall, mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine make it an ideal place for skiers of any level. Every night after the lifts close, our expert grooming team set out to deliver velvety swales of corduroy for your skiing pleasure. | | | _ | | _ | | | Perhaps you've heard the fervent whispers about Fernie already: You'll find some of the steepest terrain you'll ever see in-bounds, and what's out-of-bounds is free for the taking too. The snow is unbelievable-deep and light and almost magical. The terrain seems unlimited-if you see it, and can get to it, you can ski it. There are no crowds, so you have the mountain practically to yourself. Of course, all this tantalizing lore is shared with the necessary forewarning, 'We're only telling you this because we know you'll keep it to yourself.'Fernie, tucked into the craggy Lizard Range of the Canadian Rockies, is several hours from civilization and caters to a casual crowd that comes here for one thing and one thing only: the allure of the mountain. It can easily be lumped in with other resorts known to worship the zen of skiing: Red Mountain, Alta, Snowbird, Crested Butte, Jay Peak. In fact, it is reminiscent of Red Mountain and Rossland, only a bit more grown up. Much of the mountainside village is just a few years old and includes lodging, restaurants, apres-ski bars, coffee shops and a grocery store. Fernie, owned by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, has plans for expansion both in the slopeside village and on the mountain. | | | _ | | _ | | | Panorama Ski Resort- This winter ski season let our experienced ski

Locals began the ski area in 1961, with volunteers carving many of the runs that are skied today.

Colorado | _ | | _ | | | Just mention the word "Aspen" and you'll conjure up images of glamour, celebrity, and stardom. The pampered and privileged add certain panache to the scene, but people visit Aspen first and foremost because of the world-class skiing and riding.
The name Aspen is synonymous with skiing in America and has become a legitimate icon for the sport in its own right. The four ski mountains all are focused on the lively, stylish town of Aspen, Colo., though only one is accessed from the center of town. Each mountain is different from the others and offers a unique skiing and riding experience. All together? Well, you get the picture. | | | _ | | _ | | | "The perfect destination resort for families. The proximity of Highlands, Buttermilk and Aspen can make anyone giddy for at least a week."
Great resorts can't stand still or they'll fall behind. Snowmass is determined not to fall behind, as it keeps moving forward at an inspired clip, continuing an accelerated build-out of its expansive new base village - while also making significant upgrades to a mountain that many already consider "the best ski area in North America." The new Sheer Bliss quad just about eliminates liftlines to access the popular Big Burn terrain and provides the rowdy natural terrain garden of Burnside Cliffs with its own high-speed ride. Great move. As is this season's reincarnation of the much-missed Sam's Knob on-hill restaurant as a 7,800-square-foot breakfast, lunch and coffee venue called Sam's Smokehouse. Multiple, massive and constantly updated terrain parks are big contributors to the "great family environment" many readers applaud. | | | _ | | _ | | | Crested Butte Ski Resort- This Winter ski season let our experienced representatives organize your Crested Butte ski vacation travel package.

direction. Western and southern storms get "trapped" by the Divide. Northern and eastern "upslope" storms often spread over the west side of the Divide and add to the snowpack. On average, Winter Park receives 369 inches of snow annually - a factor that has led to its long-held claim of being Denver's favorite place to ski. | | | | | |

Montana | _ | | _ | | | The northwest corner of Montana used to be a tough place to reach, a situation that suited many locals just fine.

Bachelor has become a popular destination for Western skiers and snowboarders. | | | | | |
