From coast to coast, Canada has some pretty spectacular destinations where winter sports are #1. This week, however, we’re extra proud of our chilly recreational sites because Alberta was recognized for having two of the most searched ski destinations in the entire world – and who doesn’t love a localized achievement? 

In a new report published by Money.co.uk, Banff was named 10th while Jasper was listed 13th overall – and we might be a tad biased, but we can’t say we’re surprised!

Of course, Alberta was not the only Canadian province to make the list!
