Ski resorts such as Silver Star, Apex, Red Mountain or Big White can be an option which you could look into.
Exactly, I'm biased towards Apex as I have a place there. Whistler is best visited in the summer. Was there for this past long weekend, great fun in the summer. Serious skiing can be done is so many other places including the Okanagan.
