Skiing and Boarding in British Columbia

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

Our new mantra in the office lately has been “come on snow”.  That’s because we are officially getting ready for the winter season.  And just in time if you ask me.  Once Halloween is done our thoughts turn to our Skis and Snowboards and how much fun it’s going to be this year with epic snow! (Can you see the north shore mountains from where you are? Wahoo).

This season is also going to bring more “Theme” weekends than ever before!  What is a theme weekend? That my friend is a great question.  They are regular old ski weekends with a twist, you must dress in theme at our party with prizes for the best dressed.

Some weekends are:

December 3-5 to Big White (80’s Theme) and season opener for Destination Snow

January 14-16 to Big White (80’s Theme) and now on SALE!

January 15-17 to Whistler (Hawaiian Theme) departing from the US

These are just a few of the theme weekends for a full list of all our tours check out our shiny updated website at: www.destinationsnow.com

West Coast vacation for the August long weekend

There is no better time then in the heat of summer to escape to BC’s west coast.  Feeling the cool ocean breeze, watching the waves crash onto the black rock beach all while relaxing on your patio…Beautiful. 

Summer time on the west coast is hopping, there is just so much to do.  You can go surfing at the famed Long Beach park, you can hike along the Wild Pacific trail, you can charter a boat to take you fishing or head over to the hot springs….or you can take it easy on the sandy beaches and work on your tan. 

The accommodations are second to none in Ucluelet.  The Black Rock Resort (aptly named) boasts a spa, plunge pool and 2 wonderful hot tubs (all facing the ocean).  They also have a fine dining restaurant and a fun little lounge.

This package is a summer lovers dream come true and a must see this year.
