Biggest Ski Resort in Canada: Every Province Ranked

"Whistler Blackcomb is not only the biggest resort in British Columbia, but it is also the biggest resort in all of North America. The resort is made up of two mountains that, until 1997, operated as two separate resorts. In 2008, the Peak 2 Peak gondola was opened, allowing guests to easily travel between the two mountains. Whistler's massive footprint and vertical drop allow for some of the most diverse terrain found anywhere in the world. From high alpine bowls to below tree line cruisers and glade runs, Whistler has something for everyone and should be on every skier's bucket list."

"Lake Louise not only provides some of the best resort views in the world, but also provides an abundance of terrain. With 170 runs serviced by 13 lifts, Lake Louise stacks up with the best destination resorts on the continent. Just this season, Lake Louise expanded the terrain of the resort with the addition of Richardson's Ridge terrain zone. This new zone features intermediate terrain on the backside of the resort, expanding the resort's impressive intermediate terrain offering. Lake Louise also offers plenty of advanced and expert terrain, especially off the backside, which offers steep and technical bowl skiing."
