For outdoorsy pursuits, Canada is in the very top of the leagues. The best skiing in the world is arguably at Whistler near Vancouver; I was blown away by my childhood experience there, almost literally, for there is a constant barrage of fresh snow. It is generally very wintry in Canada and it is the world’s great ice hockey nation.
Nature is big and beautiful throughout the northernmost Commonwealth land in all seasons, and if you have disposable income, you can eat very well too. There is first-rate sushi, Franco-American dishes like the famous poutine, which is a mishmash of chips doused in meat and gravy, and craft beers galore. There is even a mini-slice of France, north American-style, in Montreal and Quebec, where the majority still speak French (for now).
