Winter is on its way! Or in the case of our Vancouver North Shore mountains, it's already here. Several local ski hills are already open, as is Whistler Mountain. If you're planning some local snow fun, or skiing further afield, we've reviewed quite a few family-friendly snow spots for you.
Our Whistler Wonderland guide has been updated, and was just featured on the official Whistler Blackcomb "The Movement" community page and Whistler's iPhone App. Check out our tips for skiing, hotels and family-friendly restaurants.
For local Vancouver snow fun, read up on our Winter Fun on Vancouver's North Shore. Tips for skating, skiing, boarding, tubing and snowshoeing on all three North Shore mountains. All within 30 minutes driving distance from Vancouver.
Finally, if you're planning a winter or spring break, we've got some great options for you. Great Wolf Lodge is a super family-friendly indoor water park resort with eleven locations in North America. Sun Peaks resort near Kamloops is a fantastic family-friendly ski destination. From the bunny hill to double-blacks, Sun Peaks offers great value with miles of great ski terrain. Finally, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter offers classical theme-park family holiday fun in sunny Orlando, Florida.
Cheers!
