The best ski resorts in Canada have been ranked and it was a close call between Lake Louise and Big White.

In Condé Nast Traveler's 2021 Readers' Choice Awards, the top three resorts were claimed by venues in B.C. and Alberta.

Skiing is must-do winter activity for millions of Canadians each year, and with COVID-19 travel restrictions easing, you can bet that the slopes (and apres skiing bars and restaurants) will be busier than ever.
