Fernie Alpine Resort is the stuff of dreams. A small little village, nestled amongst lumbering mountains, it\u2019s an idyllic place that\u2019s perfectly suited for coffee-table picture books and ski-buff bucket lists. Wake up in this resort town and you\u2019re surrounded by fresh powder. Better still, you\u2019re at the doorstep of some Canada\u2019s best skiing. The powder and the views make this spot one of the best skiing destinations in the world, and the exceptional dining and accommodations definitely don\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it #10? For the 37 feet of snow that gets dumped here\u2014each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 9. Crabbe Mountain (New Brunswick)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"crabbe](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/3302979137_a6a67dd990_o.jpg\")

Why is it #9? Nighttime skiing is especially popular here, which sounds just as romantic as it is when cruising down fresh powder by moonlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 8. Le Massif, Baie-Saint-Paul (Quebec)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Le](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/357302618_83044469f2_o.jpg\")
(Source: Flickr \/ Samuel Bouchard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is the biggest mountain east of the Rockies, and the journey here alone is worth the cost of admission. In order to get here, you need to take a one-hour train ride from Quebec City, but the journey opens you up to glorious mountain vistas and the view of the St. Lawrence River. Sounds pretty phenomenally Canadian, if you ask us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it #8? Because there are more than 40 runs, with a 770-metre vertical drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 7. Panorama Mountain Village, Panorama (British Columbia)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Panorama](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/3197572612_06fa5b8769_z.jpg\")
(Source: Flickr \/ Derek Blackadder)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor a clue as to why this village is included on the list, just look at its name! In Panorama, you literally feel like you\u2019ve been dropped on the side of the mountain, overlooking the expansive terrain. Better still, Panorama caters to both snow lovers and those that hate winter. For those less inclined to hit the slopes, there\u2019s warm pools and even swimming pools with slides, for the kiddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it #7? For the view. Oh, what a view!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 6. Silver Star Mountain Resort, Vernon (British Columbia)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Vernon,](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32733833230_3199065f81_z.jpg\")
(Source: Flickr \/ Murray Foubister)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMove over everyone else, after taking one look at this mountain village we might never want to leave. Not only does it look striking against the white powder, but this spot is filled with some of the trendiest shops and restaurants in the area. This is the perfect place to host an apr\u00e8s, while still being able to blow some steam (so you don\u2019t feel bad about that extra helping of steak or creme brulee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it #6? The resorts exemplary grooming standards mean that each mountain looks absolutely picture perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 5. Blue Mountain, Collingwood (Ontario)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Blue](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/8199968291_c08b96f5e0_z.jpg\")
(Source: Flickr \/ CK Golf)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe charming facet about this winter destination is the town. In the wintertime, Collingwood<\/a> can take on the persona of a quaint Swiss village. This European vibe makes it much easier to soak up the ambience and to justify a day of bombing down the mountain before soaking up the village ambience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy is it #5? While the views might not be as breathtaking, this is still the third most popular ski destination in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 4. Marmot Basin, Jasper (Alberta)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bigstock-The-waters-of-a-melting-mounta-197853814-1024x683.jpg\")
While it might be a bit of a journey, with Edmonton<\/a> 370 kilometres away, this is a place that has an amount of majestic, natural beauty that you just cannot turn down. Why? Because Marmot Basin has the highest base elevation of any other mountain in Canada, which makes the sights from the slopes an absolutely breathtaking experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy is it #4? While it might lack a proper ski village\/destination, this UNESCO World Heritage Site gets on the list on looks alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 3. Mont Tremblant Ski Resort (Quebec)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"MONT](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bigstock-MONT-TREMBLANT-QUEBEC-CANADA-59809460-1024x751.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor the quintessential French Canadian experience head out to Mont Tremblant for a run or two. It\u2019s all about the ambience here, with the ski-in and ski-out destination matched with the charming Pedestrian Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it #3? For the Olympic-calibre wintertime activities on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 2. Banff\/Lake Louise (Alberta)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Banff](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/98762547_61791d8c34_z.jpg\")
(Source: Flickr \/ Matt Seppings)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is another iconic Canadian hot spot (literally). The Banff Hot Springs<\/a> is a great place to relax in the wintertime, while the skating rink at Lake Louise is a romantic getaway for even the biggest non-skiers in your life. On top of all that, nearby Banff<\/a> you have three mountains for skiers of all kinds. It sounds like a pretty solid triple threat if we ever heard one.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy is it #2? Because of the mix of winter weather and warm-in-winter-weather activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# 1. Whistler Blackcomb (British Columbia)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Whistler,](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/5897386132_35740cec9a_z.jpg\")
