Go for the gold in British Columbia

It’s a shame to visit B.C. for the first time and not see Vancouver Is-land, so head to Mount Washington Alpine Resort (www. mountwashington.ca), which fea-tures a deep snow base, mild temperatures and the ability to ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon (the nearby Comox Valley has green grass year-round). The resort boasts world-class Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.
