Downhill Skiing in the Rockies
Posted by Rich on 07/23/08 in Travel
Alpine skiing is a popular winter sport where skiers enjoy downhill skiing with the aid of ski lifts, which prevent an arduous climb between hills. Wherever the mountains are grand enough and the snow deep enough, the skiing is bound to be good. Those two factors make the Canadian Rockies a great place for alpine skiing. Plus, several of the best ski resorts are located close to the urban centers of Calgary and Edmonton. Alberta and British Columbia are the provinces best-known for their majestic slopes. Canada ski vacations are every alpine skier’s favorite way to spend a week away from home. Quality resorts provide comfort and relaxation when fatigue sets in after a day in the mountains. In fact, the pricier resorts have everything you would expect from a five-star hotel, including fitness centers, steam rooms, and diverse dining options. For those without their own ski gear, the resorts rent out the essentials. One of the most scenic places for a ski vacation is Banff National Park. A Banff Canada vacation lets visitors enjoy Canada’s oldest and most breathtaking national park while hitting the slopes. Thanks to the majestic landscape, challenging slopes, and nearby cities, Canadian Rockies vacations supply everything an Alpine skier requires for the perfect week-long getaway from the ordinary.
