Canada offers an array of sensational ski destinations and the country's flag carrier can take you there.

Air Canada boasts an impressive fleet flying to dozens of cities across North America, connecting winter travelers to their favorite ski resorts.

Here are five of the best places in Canada to strap in this winter:

Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia

Perhaps Canada's most renowned ski resort, Whistler Blackcomb is just a 90-minute drive north of Vancouver and travelers flying with Air Canada can save big on winter flights from destinations all across the continent, including as little as $113 one-way from Los Angeles.

Banff, Alberta

Banff is home to thousands of acres of skiable terrain, including three incredible hills in Sunshine Village, Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise. Experience each of them for yourself this winter by flying into nearby Calgary with Air Canada.

Banff National Park is about an hour and a half west of the cosmopolitan city.

Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

Located just 90 minutes northwest of Montreal, Mont-Tremblant is yet another tremendous ski destination for visitors to Canada this winter.

Guests at the namesake ski resort can even take advantage of direct flights with Air Canada between Toronto Pearson and Mont-Tremblant International Airport during the winter.

Collingwood, Ontario

Air Canada makes it easier than ever to fly to Toronto without blowing up your budget. Better yet, visitors to the Canadian metropolis will be just a two hours' drive from Collingwood, home of the beloved Blue Mountain ski resort.

This year-round resort offers a variety of terrain and slopes that will suit skiers of all skill levels and it also boasts one of the longest seasons in Ontario.

Martock, Nova Scotia

Fly into Halifax this winter and you'll be less than an hour from Martock. The mountain stretches 600 feet high and features as many as seven trails.

Air Canada passengers can book a one-way ticket from Orlando to Halifax for just $130 this winter.
