There are few things in life that spark childish glee more than snowflakes falling from a midwinter sky – the rising anticipation as they settle on icy ground, then crunching footprints, building carrot-nosed snowmen, and dodging snowballs from mischievous youngsters. It’s what childhood dreams are made of – but why let kids have all the fun?
Great for… a ski adventure
There’s no thrill quite like standing atop snow-capped slopes, ready to kick off down the mountainside – except, perhaps the sight of a log cabin at the bottom serving maple pancakes.
Canada is a firm favourite for all levels of skier, and the Alberta resort of Banff is a great choice. Set in the heart of the Rockies, the town was built in the 1880s and has evolved into one of the country’s hottest ski spots for every ability. The town is bustling, particularly mid-season, with cosy restaurants and bars aplenty.
Crystal Ski offers flights, transfer and a 7-night stay at the charming, hot tub-equipped Canalta Lodge from £1072 per person, crystalski.co.uk
