Hi guys. I will go skiing/skimountaineering in Canada in Febraury and
I'm wondering which are the best maps for trekking/skiing in that
area. I'm referring to 1:25,000 (1cm=25,000cm) scale or 1:50,000.

Government maps are generally 1:250,000 (probably not useful) and
1:50,000. There may be larger scale maps for specific areas.

Canada is a big country. You need to be more specific as to which area
you are interested in. (To give a idea of the size: Italy with
surrounding sea would fit inside the province of Alberta quite easily.
Alberta is less 10% of Canada's land area.)
