We had just a beautiful day here on Saturday. Sun shining for our walk around the serene Deer Lake, made us realize just how lucky we are here in Vancouver. When the rest of the country and most of the continent are dealing with the most unpleasant cold, we get the best of both worlds.
While there may be no snow in the city we are so fortunate to be able to drive up the mountain and enjoy the white stuff when we please. Saturday evening we were able to enjoy clear skies and an amazing snowshoe hike up to a warming hut, where our guides prepared chocolate fondue for us until we were completely stuffed. We warmed up with hot chocolate and cider and a ton
of laughs before we got our snowshoes back on and headed down to our cars. Guides Kim and Kelvin gave us some educational info about the mountains and the trees we were walking through and even shared the 11th essential of hiking... always bring a plastic bag.... for some impromptu sliding when there is snow. Just like kids again, forget the magic carpets, plastic bags are easier to carry and work just as well. Events And Adventures Vancouver
