The Best Ski Resorts in Canada for Spring Skiing

Winter just isn’t complete until you’ve gotten your fill of the soft snow and warm weather brought by spring skiing. In North America, it typically arrives in early March and lasts until May (or June, in some places). Canada is no exception, with great conditions and a long spring skiing season that goes nearly until summer in some places. We’ve picked a few of the best ski resorts in Canada for spring skiing. For our broader list of the best resorts for spring skiing across North America, head to this article.

Note: It’s been an unusually mild and dry ski season for most of the 2025-26 winter at ski resorts across much of the U.S. and Canada, which may impact spring operations and closing dates. Use the snow reporting section of our website as a resource and double-check ski resort websites for the latest updates and operating schedule.

The Best Ski Resorts In Canada For Spring Skiing

 Tremblant, Quebec

Combine Tremblant’s northern latitude with an extensive snowmaking system, and you can anticipate good snow to play on until Tremblant closes, typically around mid-April. Spring at Tremblant means free live music, lodging and lift ticket specials, and great après-ski experiences, including Le P’tit Caribou, which we named one of the best après-ski spots in Canada. Bonus: The drive to Tremblant from Montreal is just 81 miles, while Ottawa is 93 miles away. It’s an easy flight to Tremblant from many U.S. cities.

Mont St. Sauveur, Quebec

Seeking one of Quebec’s longest ski seasons? Mont St. Sauveur, an hour north of Montreal, provides an end to your search. While most Quebec ski resorts close by mid-April, Mont St. Sauveur often stays open into May, which is rare for ski resorts in Eastern Canada. The skiing here is well suited for families, with plenty of beginner and intermediate terrain, as well as some tame black diamond runs. This makes it a great spring skiing destination for new skiers. After all, spring is one of the best times to learn to ski thanks to softer snow.

The ski resort has a wide range of beginner to advanced terrain spread across 550 acres and features beautiful, sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River.

Located 45 minutes east of Montreal, Bromont is convenient for those looking for a convenient day trip option near the city. Bromont is ideal for a family spring break since progressing beginners can maneuver around most of the mountain. Plus, there are a lot of lodging deals come spring. Like many ski resorts, Bromont has a great lineup of spring events, including live music, competitions, and more. Once it’s time for après-ski, head to the patio of Hotel Chateau Bromont, located less than a mile from the slopes. The ski resort typically closes for the season in mid-April.

SkiBig3: Sunshine, Mt. Norquay, and Lake Louise, Alberta

Alberta’s SkiBig3 ski resorts in Banff are all sure bets for spring skiing high in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Mt. Norquay, closest to town, typically closes around mid-April, while you can ski and ride at both Sunshine and Lake Louise during the month of May. Spring brings so many fun ski events to Banff, but none more famous than the Banff Sunshine Slush Cup in May. Skiers and riders, usually in costume, fly across a slushy pond at Sunshine to close out the season.

After enjoying après-ski on the ski resort patios, head into Banff, which has an excellent selection of restaurants and bars for après, including Magpie & Stump, known for its great Mexican food and more than 60 tequilas.

Marmot Basin, Alberta

Marmot Basin in Jasper National Park can have brutally cold winter days because of its 8,570-foot summit elevation. This makes the longer, warmer days of spring that much more sweeter. After a morning of enjoying soft spring snow, head to the lower mountain for après-ski on the Kokanee Glacier Deck at Caribou Chalet. Several convenient shuttles and buses from the surrounding areas are available for transportation to the resort. One of the best things about visiting Marmot Basin during this time of year is that you can explore Jasper National Park after a few hours of spring laps.

Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia

It’s only fitting that Whistler Blackcomb, the largest ski resort in North America, is one of the best destinations in Canada for spring skiing. Skiing and riding typically continues through mid-April on both mountains. Then operations move over to Blackcomb for late-spring skiing that often goes into May.  Spanky’s Ladder and Glacier Bowl are among the highlights for more advanced skiers during the spring ski season, especially if you can take advantage of trails that open first thing in the morning. Beginners and intermediates will find no shortage of smooth groomers. Gaper Day, happening on the last day of the season, is a fun event to close out the season at Whistler Blackcomb. Dress up in retro gear and ski with the locals.

After a few hours of spring turns, eat and drink your way around Whistler Village. Après-ski faves include the Longhorn Saloon, which we named one of the best aprés-ski bars in Canada.

Revelstoke, British Columbia

Revelstoke gets an incredible amount of snow in winter, making for a great spring ski season that typically goes until mid-April. If you’re lucky, you may even get a powder day on your late-season visit. On average, Revelstoke receives around 70 inches of snow during March and April. Strong skiers will want to head to the Black Diamond Hot Sauce run atop the Stoke lift for a late-season spring skiing challenge. End your ski day at the Old School Eatery, located in a former elementary school building in Revelstoke.

Located just outside the town of Fernie, about 40 miles from the Canada/U.S. border, this ski mountain has tons of local flair.

The 3,550 feet of vertical drop and more than 2,000 acres of terrain give skiers and riders a lot to choose from. The Fernie après experience isn’t complete until you visit nearby small-town restaurants and pubs. Fernie usually remains open until mid-to-late April.
