"Renowned for steep terrain, gigantic chutes, jagged peaks and fluffy dry snow, this mountain benefits from elevation that helps preserve cold, powdery conditions through warm storms. “One of the great things about the resort is the elevation of the ski resort,” says professional skier Tessa Treadway, who adds that higher elevation often means snow when lower resorts see rain and that families appreciate authentic winter conditions. The area boasts Canada’s highest restaurant and is an epic destination for expert skiers; Glacier Mountain Lodge is the on‑mountain accommodation steps from the main gondola." - Jonny Bierman
