'Canada's Napa Valley' Is a Best-kept Winter Secret—How to Visit

"A large, varied downhill area with more than 3,000 acres and roughly 2,500 feet of vertical that averages significant snowfall (around 275 inches annually); the terrain is often described as having a mellow frontside and a more challenging backside, and the resort is equipped with modern infrastructure including about 10 lifts, an eight-seat gondola and a six-pack express. The village mixes gold-rush charm with contemporary amenities, and on-hill hosts provide friendly orientation while plentiful non-ski activities—ice skating on the central pond, tubing, fat biking and snowshoeing—keep visitors entertained off the lifts." - Jennifer Malloy
