Weekly “What Not’s”

Happy Wednesday everyone,

For this week’s “What Not’s” we bring you

Wearing Stiletto Heel’s to a Wine Tour

Don't wear heels to a winery

Wineries are romantic, idyllic wonderful places to visit and sip the nectar of the gods, they are also working farms. 

Do yourself and your stylish heels a favour…wear flats.  Nothing is worse than accidentally aerating someones vineyard with the tips of your heels, making walking a challenge and reeking havoc on your shoes (not to mention it will have people questioning how many tastings you have enjoyed that day!!).

Weekly “What-Not’s”

For today’s “what-not” we bring you:

Skiing in Jeans

While we encourage everyone out there to strap on some boards (or board depending on your preference), we also STRONGLY encourage you to get your mitt’s on the proper gear to go with it.

Now I know that there are a lot of people out there that are guilty of skiing in jeans (not sure why but we don’t judge…much). You will find these guilty few in the lodge at around 1 pm, shivering, wet and the color blue.

Not worth the full day lift pass my friends. 

Lesson of  the day: get some good gear to keep you warm and dry… so you can keep warm and dry while looking cool (like us)

This has been a your weekly “What-Not” brought to you by Destination Snow & Tours

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!
