And, to add to Jim's list, Fernie, British Columbia. A great circle tour from Calgary would be Lake Louise, Sunshine, Panorama, and Fernie... Oh, and I almost forgot: Big White, southeast of Kelowna, BC, almost always has great snow and is relatively inexpensive, too (well, compared to Whistler, anyway)...

I agree with Fernie! Usually the best powder in the Rockies. The west is definitely where the best snow is. Sunshine and Lake Louise are great too. Whistler is fabulous but is certainly way more expensive than the Banff/Fernie scene. <BR>

Well this is a pretty subjective question.<BR><BR>Best ski area in Canada, wherever you happen to be skiing that day is the best place to ski, you cannot go wrong.<BR>

I had a great time at Mt St. Anne last March, just outside of Quebec. The Americans seem to love it, whenever I was on a lift I was sitting next to someone from Vermont, go figure! Plus you're close enough to enjoy the beautful city of Quebec.
