Vancouver’s North Shore is where the thrill of Winter adventure meets the excitement of the city, at the base of majestic mountains, next to the sparkling Pacific Ocean that is the gift that keeps on giving, all year round. Most of the Winter, the snow stays where it’s most wanted – three incredible ski resorts – and the temperate climate in town means the year-round attractions are open to explore, as well as a world-class dining scene and fabulous hotels to make you feel right at home.
In fact, it won’t take long to feel just Like a Local.
Outdoor adventure is what the North Shore is famous for, and Winter is a beautiful time to revel in all its splendour. Just minutes from the city, you’ll be on top of the world at some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the province. Mount Seymour, Grouse Mountain and Cypress Mountain all provide unique challenges for the thrill-seekers, fun-runs for the families, and endless scenic vistas for all. Hiking remains a gorgeous way to spend the day, in and out of the white stuff, as does mountain biking where internationally renowned trails are still open. For more urban escapades, head down to The Shipyards for a stroll around the water with magnificent views of downtown Vancouver, or stop for a spin around the region’s largest outdoor skating rink.
For days when you feel like staying warm and cozy, there’s no shortage of fun on the inside too. The North Shore’s amazing culinary scene has found its way into every pocket of each unique neighbourhood, on every corner you’ll find amazing restaurants, cafes and bakeries to comfort your cravings. The Brewing District offers plenty of places to relax and opportunities to sample the North Shore’s impressive craft beers, local wines and ciders—all within walking distance. Historic museums and though-provoking art galleries offer a chance to learn more about this storied land and the people who call it home. And fascinating Indigenous experiences allow the whole family to celebrate and participate in local traditions and culture.
