Looking at doing some long weekends this winter and intending to use low cost carriers. Which resorts in Canada and not too expensive to transfer to from major airports? How about North America as well. eg Denver.
How about format like this
Calgary Banff/LL 1.5hrs
Thank you
Closest resorts to a major airport?

Not my area but I've always heard Salt Lake City was rated highly for airport and slope access.
Thats what I am doing. Just have to decide if I should take my snowboarding best mate, or my non-snowboarding lovely girlfriend.
Hmmm.
Take both of them, then you have some-thing to do day and night :lol:

Salt Lake City has Alta/Snowbird and Deer Valley pretty close, also Brighton and Solitude aren't far!!
Not sure of the closest resorts to Denver but i think about 1.5/2 hours for Breck.
Depends how "major" you call Kelowna (Canada) but thats got a few within an hour, Silver Star and Big White being the 2 main ones. Mt Baldy isn't far either, just down by the US border.
Vail has its own quite good airport, American Airlines and most of the other US airlines fly there from places in America (Chicago, Boston, New York, LAX etc)

I love the use of the word 'do' though )
