Canada Offers Great Skiing and Vacation Rentals

Nov. 8, 2006 – We’ve been dreaming of fresh powder since reading the Chicago Tribune’s spread this weekend on skiing in Canada. We just have to remember to bring our passports, starting in 2007. As the article points out, beginning on Jan. 8, Americans will be required to show their passports in order to reenter the United States. But hey, that’s a small price to pay.

We love the skiing up north for the rich character of the different regions. As the writer put it:
“The fat resorts are out West, where British Columbia plays Colorado to Alberta’s Utah. Where winter doesn’t give up easily and the snow falls in perfect blankets.�
“In eastern Canada, in the province of Quebec, the truth fits the legend at sweeping Vermont-like ski resorts nesting above French-Canadian villages. The family names go back 300 years.�

To settle the East versus West debate for yourself, check out these ski-in, ski-out cabins in British Columbia and the spacious vacation rentals in Quebec.
