In a nutshell
Canada's foremost 4-season resort is considered one of the premiere mountain destinations in the world. It has a whopping vertical and a huge ski area with a great combination of high open bowls and woodland trails. The lifts are good and there's an attractive pedestrian-only resort village at the base, alive with a selection of over 50 bars, nightclubs and restaurants. When you're not skiing you may like to try your hand at zipping through the local forests on a snowmobile or if you are after a more sedate pace try snowshoeing!
Eats & drinks
Great selection of bars, for that post ski toddy try Merlins or the Longhorn. Otherwise restaurants range from fine dining to sushi to pizza - take your pick!

Transfers from the airport are by scheduled bus service or private transfer.
