The Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region becomes a veritable winter wonderland each year, with ample mountain tops and heaps of fresh powder snow.
The region will soon welcome the world for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Whistler is the official Host Mountain Resort, and Cypress Mountain will host freestyle skiing and snowboard events.
Winter sports buffs can hit the downhill slopes or cross-country and snowshoe trails of Manning Park Resort and Hemlock Resort. Seymour, Grouse and Cypress mountains each feature an array of runs sure to satisfy the most discerning skier or snowboarder, and are just a short drive from Vancouver.
Or follow the trail of skiers, boarders and snowmobilers from around the world to Whistler Blackcomb. While in Whistler, arrange to go cat-skiing, heli-skiing or dogsledding for an added adventure.
