British Columbia

When you think of British Columbia, you think of powder snow slopes, thick forests, and reflecting lakes. Some say it has the best scenery in Canada and there is always plenty of snowfall for winter sports. Several ski resorts operate and there are facilities for skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, and telemark skiing. Mount Baldy is one of the most famous mountains, well known for its tree skiing and snowboarding. It’s a wine growing area and popular with golfers in the summer. The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort has a good nightlife and the mountain bike park has more than 63 miles of trails. Away from the slopes, you can explore the attractions in the exciting city of Vancouver, including the Stanley Park gardens, the museums, and various cultural events. Vancouver and Whistler are the hosts for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. British Columbia is a must see destination at any time of year.
