If you're reading this chances are you have an interest in treating your body like the temple it is and doing something nice for it. The weekend is coming up and here are some ideas for a fun and active westcoast winter:
1) Mountains: All the local mountains are up and running and offer a variety of downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, and snow shoeing options for beginners to experts. Seymour has snowshoeing trails that range from 30 minute strolls to 3 hour grinds, and Cypress is home to the moderate and beautiful Hollyburn trail.
2) Lakes: I was shocked when I met someone who has grown up in Vancouver tell me they had never ventured out of the city and into the suburbs where Greater Vancouver is famed for its abundance of forest trails, lakes, and ocean views. Check out the dog-friendly hiking trails at Buntzen Lake in Anmore (Port Moody) that have all of these. Just remember to prepare for snow or rain conditions if you're planning on hiking up in elevation.
3) Parks: We are surrounded in parks whether they are little neighbour swingsets or the large Stanley Park. Find a friend to play catch with or merely breath in the sweet smell of the evergreens.
* Weather conditions can change quickly and unknown situations can arise, so always be prepared with extra layers of clothing, proper footwear, water and snacks, to fully enjoy your time away from the concrete jungle.
