This Family Day, swap your slippers for the slopes for a fun-filled day full of fresh air, Vitamin D and lots of laughs. Whether you\u2019re a serious shredder or a beginner with half-pipe dreams, snowboarding is a fun winter activity for all ages. The good news is there is no shortage of mountains and resorts across Canada where you can take the entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the West Coast you\u2019ll find favourites like the world-renowned Whistler Blackcomb, Kelowna\u2019s Big White and Mount Washington on Vancouver Island. Further inland, Lake Louise was voted \u201cCanada\u2019s Best Ski Resort\u201d in 2021, while Banff\u2019s Sunshine Village has terrain for all levels. Favourite spots to snowboard in Ontario include Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood and Mount St. Louis Moonstone. Quebec has no shortage of great boarding hills including Mont Tremblant a couple of hours from Ottawa and Mont-Sainte-Anne outside of Quebec City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wherever you plan to buckle in and ride, a day outdoors is the best kind of winter fun. For snowboarding essentials, Burton is a leader in the snowboard gear space, driving innovation for over 40 years and outfitting the top snowboarders in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
