Here are some of the best Canadian ski resorts that you can visit this winter with an RV.
Lake Louise
Lake Louise is typically at the top of most lists for the best places to ski in Canada. Located in Banff National Park, Lake Louise is one of the most scenic places in North America. It only gets better during the winter. Being located in a national park also makes it ideal to be reached by RV. Lake Louise has over 4,200 acres of skiing available and there are terrains suitable for every skill level of skier. While beginners can ski comfortable at Lake Louise, advanced skiers, in particular, might enjoy it the most.
For everything that Lake Louise has to offer, it’s surprisingly one of the more affordable resort options for skiers, yet it can feel like it’s the most luxurious. Lake Louise is only an hour away from Banff, making it easy to travel if you need anything or want to explore the town. There are several options for winter camping around Lake Louise, you can’t camp at the ski resorts as it’s in the National park, but there is great parking at the ski hill for easy access during the day. We recommend VIP parking, so it’s a short walk to and from the lodge and easy to go back to your motorhome at lunch time!
