In the Alpine resorts you can ski even in summer!

Depending on what you are looking for, the months between December and April give you several reasons to ski in the Alps.

Snow season in Canada

For skiing and snowboarding, December to March is the best time in Canada. But to save money you should plan your trip for the end of March or April, since the number of tourists has already decreased.

Some resorts open their snow seasons in November and leave their slopes open until April, when the year is promising plenty of snow!

How about an adventure in Asia?

The continent has great ski resorts, which are open from November to April, and besides offering an amazing winter experience, you can also experience the tradition of the Asian culture.
