Vancouver Winter Part 1
October 30, 2022 to December 28, 2022Back on the mainland and it's time for winter! The plan is to try to learn to snowboard. But first... Frog cafe, there were many frogs.
I spent some time in Fort Langley, Claire came and visited and we ventured into Golden Ears Provincial Park for some hiking before it got too cold up there.
Spending the winter in BC still means new tires if I want to go to the ski hills, check out my new kicks!
One more trip into Golden Ears before leaving Fort Langley for a bit
Leaving Fort Langley I decided to drive up the coast to Squamish, an absolutely beautiful drive. Halfway up, theres a all season campground with incredible views.
Gotta head over to Cat lake to catch some rays
In Squamish I ended up spending the night up a logging road with mountain views. It's starting too get to cold to do this without power to heat the van, but definitely worth it!
Headed back into Vancouver for a bit to grab some things. Ended up at Nemesis for breakfast and fancy coffee in a box
A cold snap came, so I was definitely in need of power to heat the van. I headed back up to Porteau Cove to wait for the snow and cold to pass.
With the weather starting to warm up again, it's time to get a gas heater installed! Perfect timing! Back to Vancouver on my way to get the heater installed.
Vern getting the heater installed! I opted to not do this myself cause I didn't want to tap into the fuel tank :P I also got lunch at a poke place that let you bring your own bowl and got very excited!
Now that I have a heater, I can go anywhere! To the ski hill! I headed over to Vancouver Island again to hit up Mount Washington with Claire. We were obviously amazing right away.
These were some fun trees at a campsite... that is all :D
Another weekend, another day to hit the slopes! Grabbing some pizza along the way
Here you can see me practicing my cool stance.
Claire's birthday dinner and binary cake!
I was heading home in January to visit the family instead of traveling during Christmas, so Claire prepared me a stocking and I had a lovely sunny coastal view :)
And now it's time to head back to Ontario for another visit. So long Vancouver Island!
