Ski Safari
Our 14-day Ski Safari is quite simply the ultimate Canadian Ski Experience – perfect for skiers, boarders, thrill-seekers, and powder lovers. We have taken the stress out of scheduling a holiday that takes in; Fernie, Panorama, Lake Louise, and Banff ski resorts in one spectacular trip.
Whether returning or experiencing the slopes of Canada for the first time, few vistas you will have experienced before will compare to the breathtaking views from the slopes of the Rockies. For those choosing Backcountry or a Heli-ski experience, landing on top of the world in a deserted, pristine snowfield with endless untouched slopes will, without a doubt, be one of the best feelings you will ever experience.

Build Your Package
For maximum flexibility 14 Day Ski Safari holidays can be booked with or without flights. Flights routinely depart from London, UK. Flights from alternative UK airports can be arranged for an additional supplement, please contact us for a quote for this service.
Outbound and return transfers are included as standard. Transfers begin and end at Calgary airport.
A lift pass can be included for the duration of your stay in each resort for a nominal fee. We have found that most guests prefer to buy passes online in advance upon receipt of their holiday dates and itinerary.
Each package / group will have their own dedicated guide/s at a ratio of 6:1 for the entire duration of the holiday. In addition to this we anticipate our own Ski Safari Consultant dropping in at various point along the itinerary to look after guests during their experience. Our guides are fully knowledgeable about the resort, training and heliskiing options.
Canada welcomes double-vaccinated travelers with only random Covid testing upon arrival. Here at WSC we’re looking at ways to help reduce risks and for groups of between 4 and 6, travelling as one party, for a nominal sum we can offer private SUV options driven by our daily-tested drivers, to protect you from communal bus travel. We also have options to ensure that you get a few days on your skis before returning home, even if you were unfortunate enough to be selected for testing and test positive in Canada. Ultimately, whilst we will do everything reasonable to help if your trip is disrupted, we’re urging our clients to ensure that they have really robust Covid cover within their insurance before flying. Why not call our Ski Safari Consultant David on +44 (0) 7739 937454 and talk through some options or any worries.

“I’ve just returned from the 2018/19 season with Winter Sports & it was amazing, I was all sad to leave! The best part though was the people. We all got on so well & the instructors were incredible, they completely changed our skiing! We had a great rep on hand 24/7 as well so for us it couldn’t have been better. Thanks for a great season Winter Sports!”
