Long A Magnet For Antipodeans, Shaney Hudson Discovered Why Canada Is A Great Spot For An Outdoor Adventure As Well As A Working Holiday.With a continent as big as Canada, it’s useful to start with a quick guide to the best spots across the country.
BEST FOR SKIING: WHISTLERLocated just 90 minutes north of Vancouver, for most backpackers Whistler and its partner in crime, Blackcomb, offer backpackers their first taste of Canadian alpine life. And it’s pretty phenomenal.
During winter, everything from bobsleighing to winter bungee jumping, snowmobiling and sleigh rides are on offer, but the real reason everyone comes here is for the perfect powder. Skiers and snowboarders are spoiled with over 200 trails and an average of 458 inches of snow each season. The village has state of the art facilities, thanks to the legacy of the 2010 winter games. And hey, if it’s good enough for gold medal winners, it’s good enough for the backpackers.
