There can much more to skiing than simply hitting the slopes. Sure, you can focus on the whole "après ski" experience of imbibing and unwinding, but there are also some fun skiing, snowboarding and ski-related experiences to be enjoyed while you're on the mountain.

Short-term rental site Airbnb has been offering users curated "experiences," and just in time for winter has compiled a list of 10 of the most popular of those experiences at ski destinations they serve around the globe. Now, unless you're headed to Santiago, Chile or Tromsø, Norway soon, you might be wondering how to make good use of this info.
It so happens that three Vancouver-area experiences made the list. Mt. Seymour Snowshoeing & Photography, Ski or Snowboard The Local Mountains (in Vancouver), and a Snow Cave Overnight Tour – Elfin Lakes (Squamish) are proving to be super popular this ski season.
These offerings can for sure make a ski trip next level; how often do you get to build your own snow cave and spend the night in it?
