According to a new survey by TravelMag.com, southern British Columbia's Whistler Blackcomb tops the list of Canada's priciest resorts, followed by Big White, located in B.C.'s Okanagan region.
The survey compared the combined price of lodging and skiing at 10 resorts in Canada and 20 in the United States, during the period from January to March 2023. Specifically, it looked at the average amount two guests sharing a room would have to spend for four nights in a hotel or condo, combined with a pair of three-day ski lift tickets. Only accommodation options located close to a ski lift and with positive average customer reviews were considered.
The survey found that the most expensive ski resorts in North America are in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon, where guests at the Alta and Snowbird resorts can expect to spend $5,706 and $5,526 respectively. Further, 19 out of 20 U.S. resorts included in the survey were more expensive than Whistler Blackcomb.
