Skiing in Northern Ontario’s ski resorts is something that shouldn’t be missed. Skiing, snowboarding and other winter sport can all be part of your spring break. Blue Mountain is Ontario’s largest ski resort and it has over thirty trails for you to try out. The Blue Mountain inn offers many package deals for March break that allow you to hit the slopes for a low price.

If you want to stay in Toronto and visit a ski resort, try the Horseshoe Resort. It’s just over an hour away from the city and allows you to get the big city experience of staying in Toronto while still being able to ski.

Near Ottawa, you also have your choice of ski resorts. Mont-Ste. Marie is the area’s premier ski location. The hills here aren’t as steep as they are other places in the province, but it’s a great park with 12 runs. Camp Fortune is only fifteen minutes from downtown and offers good cross country trails and night skiing.

No matter where you choose to spend your spring break in Ontario, you’ll be able to ski, snowboard, tube and enjoy the powdery snow.

Ski season is in full effect until early April so try out the North Shore slopes while you are there. The Whistler-Blackcomb site will be the location of the 2010 Winter Olympics. You can catch a preview by staying in Cypress, the largest of the North Shore ski resorts. Cypress Mountain is full of activities for visitors of all ages. In addition to downhill skiing, there is a cross-country area, snow tubing and other activities during the evening.

Grouse Mountain is another of the North Shore slopes. This ski resort has 20 runs and a terrain park. You can take a gondola ride up to the top of the hill without having to ski back down. Seymour Mountain makes the third of the slopes. It has a variety of winter sports like tubing, tobogganing and dog sledding.

Interior British Columbia offers some of the greatest powder skiing in the province. You can start at Big White in Kelowna, BC, travel less than an hour to Pentiction, BC and Apex Ski Resort, then on to Silver Star in Vernon, BC. But don’t stop there, you absoultely can’t forget Sun Peaks Resort, just a 45 min drive from Kamloops, BC.

While there are many great spring skiing locations in British Columbia, it depends on what you are looking for to find the best experience for you and your family. If it’s hard core powder hound skiing you seek, try Big White and Sun Peaks. Perhaps it’s more a family outing you are looking for – in that case, Silver Star and Sun Peaks have lovely city villages that aren’t too commercialized. Or go for the more remote locations like the Fernie Alpine Resort in Fernie, BC, or Kicking Horse Mountain near Golden, BC. No matter where you go in Beautiful British Columbia, there are fantastic ski resorts.
