You'll find plenty of runs for a variety of skiing abilities and
riding at Cypress and Grouse mountains, both less than
half an hour's drive from the city centre. You can also strap
on some snowshoes for a wintry hike, or treat the kids to an
afternoon of snow tubing. Whatever activity you choose, you
can play all day amid gorgeous alpine terrain, then be back in
the city in time for a late-afternoon or early-evening cocktail.
Or, venture farther afield to Whistler Blackcomb, host
mountain resort of the 2010 Olympic Games, just two hours
away on the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway.
