Big White– British Columbia

Wickaninnish Inn– Tofino B.C.
Located on the spectacular coast of Chesterman Beach, the Wickaninnish Inn provides unparalleled access to Vancouver Island’s west coast.

There is always something to do here. As a start, consider hiking in the snow capped mountainous forests. During the summer months, you can choose from a host of other activities like kayaking, surfing, fishing, or biking.
The season of mittens and hot chocolate is here, but if you would rather spend your time outdoors and brave the crowds at big ski resorts, these snowy getaways are much more fun than bundling up beside the fireplace!
