7 Of The Cheapest Ski Hills In BC & You Can Hit The Slopes For Less Than $36 At Some

All the fun, without the cost!

Editor

B.C. has some of the best ski resorts in the entire world, but they can be super expensive.

If you love hitting the slopes but don't love dishing out the money it often requires — look no further. There are actually some really cheap ski hills in B.C., that offer great deals.

They might not be the same experience as somewhere like Whistler, but you can still have a ton of fun and enjoy the winter weather.

A few of them offer amazing season pass prices, but also have day passes and half-day passes to choose from.

So get out your ski gear, and get ready for a day on the hill!
