I don't think I have ever skied anywhere with red chairlift pylons.

Oh yes, sorry, one and a half days at Alyeska and a week of heli skiing. I wouldn't put up a photo of heli, to be recognised, though.
Jackson wasn't a guess, it faces a plain (before other mountains), not a tree-filled valley.

Yeah, I know about Jackson, been a number of times, along the way - just thought I'd answer in case anyone thought you were guessing it

I was amazed so few people skied Granite Canyon (the back, which is a canyon, not a big valley). When we arrived at Jackson Hole the front had been scoured by wind and was almost skied out, except in the side country with a small walk where we found powder. We went up the tram and out at the first gate. Admittedly we had to cross a few yards of scoured stony surface at the crest, but behind was entirely soft powder with no tracks.

Canada? Perhaps Whistler? but I don't think the shape of the mountains is quite right.

Those horizontal layers noticed on the face of the mountain are typical of the Northern Rockies ... I would guess Sunshine Village but almost sure it is in Banff/Lake Louise NP area ...

Hmm, I just looked at some internet photos and I think @albob is right.

albob, Spot on Over to you.
A great little gem, and off the beaten track. Good for the final stop on roadtrips as an easy and short drive back to Calgary.
On the Lake Louise card too, providing very reasonable lift tickets.

Ha, that was too easy as well. For you anyway. How are you doing, Idris.
Well, for those who don't know it, the col itself is a bit further down and to the right, this is the view point at the top of the Val Cenis skiing, looking over the back. Hannibal is reputed to have gone over the col with his elephants.

Try this. The resort is on the left: you can see the lift pylons along what looks like a road there.
The village is down on the inlet.

Looks bleak -- somewhere in Iceland... ? Dalvik..

@patrick!, Spot on. Siglufjörður in Iceland.
I hear the Icelandic government is looking at opening their borders completely (with some caveats) from early May,
although I'm minded to go then if it's legal and I'm vaccinated anyway - they have decent hotels and good food & beer.
The village apparently used to be a major Herring packaging place and features a Herring museum. They held an international competition on the ridge line over there a couple of years ago. I think the village was in at least one of a pair of Icelandic murder mysteries (it was named in both but I think the shot the 1st one somewhere else). When I was there the snow was mostly garbage and there are no trees, but it's steep in places.
Over to you...
