What does the price of oil and demand in China have to do with skiing? If you’re a powder hound, it means your Canadian ski vacation just a got more affordable! The Canadian Dollar dropped to a 12-year low last week, which means U.S. skiers save an extra 25% on top of Ski.com’s great deals.

This 25% discount contributes to a perfect storm at Canadian ski trips this season, as British Columbia and Alberta resorts have been reaping the snowy rewards of a healthy storm track. Early-winter snowfall at Powder Highway ski resorts was epic, and Whistler Blackcomb and Banff and Lake Louise opened early thanks to big dumps.

Now that we’re well into ski season, you’re probably asking yourself: is the snow still good in Canada? The answer is a definitive yes! Scroll down to see recent snow photos of top Canadian ski resorts including Whistler, Banff, Revelstoke, Kicking Horse and Panorama.
