Manitoba is a fascinating place to ski in Canada. This province is located in the southern part of
Canada between Saskatchawan and Ontario. Manitoba
is everything you imagine: the great outdoors, glaciers,
sled dogs, fascinating wildlife, the aurora borealis, sparkling
snow and clear skies. The south and west is mainly prairie,
there are lakes and forests to the north and east and the far
north is mainly arctic coast and tundra. The capital city
is Winnipeg.
