Think the cost of living in Vancouver is getting expensive? You're not the only one. A recent survey of ski destinations worldwide for UK-based Virgin Money Travel Insurance recommended: "Skiers should give Vancouver a swerve if they want to stay in the black as the Canadian city is the most expensive destination."
Looks like there wont be enough snow for some of the Olympic sports events at Cypress Mountain. So VANOC is going to have to truck and even fly snow in, with straw and wood being used as a base for freestyle skiing and snowboarding events being hosted there.
The heaps of snow that we've had in Vancouver are turning to slush and puddles. Many of the sidewalks are covered in a hard, grey, slippery pack. Rain has returned. This is why we don't like snow.
It snowed all day today. The nights are drawing in. There is no government in Canada, it has been prorogued. The Canadian stockmarket shut down due to a technical problem.
