- 5 nights at the 3*+ Glacier Mountaineer Lodge, Kicking Horse

Kicking Horse & Revelstoke
![Revelstoke and Kicking Horse © Destination BC Revelstoke and Kicking Horse © Destination BC](https://assets.skisafari.com/2019/09/19/5d838ec71e5ffRevelstoke-and-Kicking-Horse--Destination-BC.jpg)
With perfect powder, heaps of vertical and lots of black diamond runs, this is big mountain skiing at its best. Advanced skiers and snowboarders will be in their element in Kicking Horse and Revelstoke.
Both resorts are built on former heli-skiing terrain, and to get the most out of them we recommend hiring a guide. If the 6,000 acres of steep and deep in-bound terrain isn't enough for you, you can add a day of heli or cat-skiing to really get to the good stuff.
10 nights from £2,450pp
- 5 nights at the 3*+ Glacier Mountaineer Lodge, Kicking Horse
- 5 nights at the 4*+ The Sutton Place Hotel, Revelstoke
- Based on 2 adults departing on select dates January to March 2024

Sun Peaks & Vancouver
![Sun Peaks and Vancouver © Destination BC Sun Peaks and Vancouver © Destination BC](https://assets.skisafari.com/2019/09/19/5d8390ec38650Sun-Peaks-and-Vancouver--Destination-BC.jpg)
For an unforgettable but affordable Easter family ski holiday, spend a week on Sun Peaks’ immaculately groomed pistes before a short flight to explore Vancouver in glorious spring sunshine.
This trip is particularly good value as it falls across the end of Sun Peaks' season when the snow base is deep, the sun is out, and the slopes are empty as the locals start looking towards summer. You'll visit Vancouver in the heart of cherry blossom season - you'll find them in many of the city's parks and gardens - while warmer temperatures and sunnier skies than mid-winter are much better for sightseeing.
8 nights from £1,925pp
- 5 nights at the 4* Sun Peaks Grand Hotel
- 3 nights at the 3*+ Listel Hotel Vancouver
- Based on 2 adults departing between January and March 2024
- Includes flights and transfers
Whistler & Vancouver
![Whistler and Vancouver © Destination BC Whistler and Vancouver © Destination BC](https://assets.skisafari.com/2019/09/19/5d839053eefefWhistler-and-Vancouver--Destination-BC.jpg)
The classic British Columbia ski & city stay, spending a few nights in Vancouver after a week in Whistler couldn’t be easier - and is something we recommend to all our customers.
With so much to see and do in Vancouver even three nights won't be enough to pack everything in, but you'll be able to fit highlights such as cycling around Stanley Park, flying overhead in a seaplane and visiting the markets of Granville Island.
8 nights from £1,950pp
- 5 nights at the 3*+ Listel Whistler Hotel
- 3 nights at the 4* Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre
- Based on 2 adults departing on select dates January to March 2024
- Includes flights and transfers

Can’t decide between a ski holiday and an adventure holiday? Why not both! Spend a week in one of British Columbia’s incredible ski resorts such as Whistler or Sun Peaks before heading to Vancouver Island where endless beaches, old-growth rainforests and abundant wildlife await.
