We Canadians may not have lie-on-the-beach heat here in February and March, but we’ve got some of the top winter sports and resorts in the world. Vacationing nearer to home means you can save money and fuel emissions on plane travel, feed our economy and get healthy, too. Even the closest sun destination takes six to nine hours to arrive at, once you factor in the two-hour airport wait, three-to-six-hour flight and car travel time. Use that time to drive to these winter wonderlands, and delight in some of the country’s best outdoor activities.
