This list will surely change as ski resorts begin to merge and develop. Many resorts are building new lifts and gondolas to increase the number of skiable acres people have access to. Deer Valley, for example, announced on Thursday, 24th August 2023, a huge expansion that will take its skiable acres to 5,726, putting it sixth on this list
It will be exciting to see how this list changes in the next decade.

3,850 Skiable Acres
10 – Lake Louise, AB
4,200 Skiable Acres
9 – Sun Peaks, BC
4,270 Skiable Acres

*If cat skiing wasn’t included in the skiable acreage total, Powder Mountain would sit at 7,900 Skiable Acres, which would put Powder Mountain just below Whistler Blackcomb on the list.
Squaw (now Palisadesโ has total lift-serviced acreage of 6,000.

Someone forgot about Revelstoke!!! At 10,000 acres, you would think that it would be listed!!
