Winter in Terrace: A Haven for Outdoor Adventure
A hub for outdoor lovers in Northwestern BC, Terrace continues to deliver through the winter months.
Earlier this ski season, Destination BC teamed up with Arc’teryx to travel to Nelson and Rossland. Arc’teryx athlete Izzy Lynch, two photographers, and a writer hit the road to capture the story of these small mountain towns and their beloved ski resorts. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at a few moments captured along the way by @markclinton and @arcteryx.
