Cape Smokey, Nova Scotia

Cape Smokey is a unique ski destination, not just in Canada, but in the whole world, and one that should be on every skier’s bucket list, not least because here you can ski to the ocean!

Located in Nova Scotia on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, just across the sea from the UK, it is home to the only gondola in the region and is one of the few places in the world where you can ski down the mountainside towards the sea and enjoy stunning ocean views.

Although skiing here is a very special experience, it’s important to note that snow sports are just one of a whole host of activities to enjoy at Cape Smokey. Alongside snow for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, the streams, rivers and of course, the ocean provide opportunities for everything from hiking to one of over 300 waterfalls in this corner of paradise to surfing in the ocean.  That’s a truly unique winter sports experience!

Community is also a big part of your stay in Cape Smokey. This is a small and fairly isolated location with a heritage as a fishing community where everyone looks out for each other and you’ll soon find yourself on first-name terms with the locals who’ll provide a very friendly welcome. In the end, the only problem you’re likely to have is that you won’t want to leave.
