The Canadian Rockies are the place to be this winter. The snow is dumping like crazy, the hotels are practically begging you to visit with [1] London Heathrow to Calgary, Alberta for as little as 389-pounds.

If you have never skied in the Canadian Rockies, picture the Alps, except with fewer crowds and more open spaces. The snow in British Columbia doesn’t just fall from the sky, it comes down in massive quantities. If you happen to be on the slopes during one of those powdery days where the fresh snow fills the air like magic, you won’t find better skiing anywhere else.

If skiing is not your thing, Calgary and the Canadian Rockies can still be a fun place to visit. There is plenty of wildlife to gawk out while you drive through breathtaking scenery and there are small towns that will welcome you with open arms. Calgary itself has some fine shopping and a bit of a cowboy feel tucked inside a cosmopolitan city.

The British Airlines flight offer only lasts until December 23, 2006 so book your ticket to Calgary and the Canadian Rockies as soon as possible (that means do it now!)
