“Why am I waiting in 30-minute lift lines at this mega-resort?”
If you have, you’re certainly not alone.
We love to share some of the world’s most remote ski areas so you can sit back in your office chair and daydream about skiing endless Jerry-free laps at a reasonable price.

The ski area sits just 9 miles from the city of Whitehorse (pop. ~25,000), which is the capital of the Yukon Territory.
Lifts run at at the ski area Thursday-Sunday, and a full-day lift ticket only costs ~$42 USD.
