Manning Park Resort can be found between Hope and Princeton on Highway 3. The resort and its ski area are within the boundaries of EC Manning Cascade Provincial Park. This area is cold in the winter, and consistently gets a deep snowpack.
The ski area at Manning consists of 2 double chairs and a beginner area. It's a small inbounds area, but there is a good variety of terrain. The doubles service two separate faces which both run out to the day lodge area.
The Blue chair is the shorter of the 2. There is a steep run right under the lift. The terrain park is another fun place to shred in this area.
The Orange chair services the most terrain. It rises over 400 meters to the highest point of the area. These slopes can have powder stashes for days, and the view is one of the best in BC.
Drive up the Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver for about an hour and a half and you will find yourself in Whistler, arguably one of the most complete resorts in the world. This place has more of everything, more lifts, more trails and more terrain than any other resort in North America.

Sunshine Village is a big mountain resort close to Calgary and Banff. It's made up of several mountains if you want to get specific, but the entire ski area is accessed by one lift at the base lodge. Fortunately this lift is the Gondola, and is the fastest lift and has the highest capacity, so the base area doesn't get too bottlenecked with the crowds.
