Ski 1 week in	Then the next week in
from 19 - 26 Jan 2013	from 26 Jan to 2 Feb 2013

Join our fantastic 2 weeks ski Canada ski tour.  Experience skiing or boarding in the dry champagne powder of the inland resorts of Sun Peaks and Big White, where average annual snowfalls exceed 7 m. 

Sun Peaks Ski Resort has the second largest skiable terrain in B.C. Epic powder days experienced on unbelievable terrain are the ultimate combination. In a matter of minutes, you can sweep down from an open, powder filled bowl into the trees of your choice or the perfectly groomed run that you crave. Variety is the name of the game here. There are 122 runs to choose from, spread over the second largest ski able terrain in B.C. They can take you anywhere from the open glades of Mt. Morrisey to the steep face of Tod Mountain. No matter what level of skier or snowboarder you are, there is a perfect run for you at Sun Peaks Resort.

Follow this up with skiing or riding in the eery snow ghosts of Big White - frosty snow caked trees that resemble phantasmagorical shapes.  At Big White, "It's the Snow" is their motto, with over 750cm of light, dry, fluffy powder falling annually!
Canada's Largest Totally Ski-in Ski-Out Resort Village where you can soak in the breath-taking views from your private balcony and allow your hot tub to envelop you in relaxation.
Big White offers family friendly activities and events for all ages, just steps away from your accommodation every day! Enjoy live entertainment, go skating, play hockey, try tubing, or gather around the bonfire to watch the fireworks.
Wide Open Terrain! Unfolding the mountain trail map, you'll discover 118 runs, 5 alpine bowls, 'TELUS Park' terrain park, the Mega Snow Coaster tubing park, a skating rink, snowmobile trails, and more. Challenge all 2,765 acres of terrain geared for all levels of skiers and boarders! You'll wish you could double your holiday time!
All this together with fast, convenient, modern lifts means no waiting in lineups at Big White. With 16 lifts and an uphill capacity of 28,000 skiers and riders per hour, you'll never wait more than a few minutes - even at the busiest times.

If 2 weeks is not enough, then add on 5 more days days in Revelstoke - the place everyone now wants to experience.  Here you will have 4 more days of wide open mountain terrain to explore including 1 day of cat skiing to really get off the beaten track. Experience breathtaking views of the Monashee Mountains and the Columbia River from the South, Montana, and Kokanee Bowls. Enjoy fabulous alpine bowls, naturally gladed slopes and their renowned light, dry powder snow.
