  Just spent 3 days snow shoeing and cross country skiing above Sechelt.  Was only a 45 min ferry ride from Vancouver. About 40 min drive from Ferry to snow area. Snow was amazing and heard there was even a cougar in the area so we satyed at a B&B instead of camp in snow.  We thought there must have been 8 ft of snow.  The view was spectacular of all Georgia Strait. You could see the gulf islands and upto comox.
  Road up was plowed yet we never saw the plow truck. he must come and plow in middle of the nite. 
  Even found some areas we could snow board.
  `  We will be back
