Best Ski Resorts For Non Skiers
It’s increasingly popular for non-skiers to join their skiing and snowboarding friends and family members on winter holidays to the Canadian Rockies.
While you may be concerned about having nothing to do when everyone is out on the slopes. Many resorts actually have a wide range of interesting activities to enjoy both on and off the mountains. There’s everything from snow tubing parks and snow shoeing, to simply taking the gondola up and enjoying the scenic views.
We’ve picked out our top ski resorts to visit as a non-skier and our favourite activities to do in each!
