When it comes to winter fun on Vancouver Island, Canada, you may not think of snow first, but Island Winter actually hides a rare white fairy tale on the West Coast! This time I took the cable car directly to Mt Washington Snow Park (just near Englewood), breathed the cold air at the top of the mountain, instantly sober - Vancouver Island is so many faces: not only layers of green forests, Pacific coast, but also winter-limited snow mountains and super Chill skiing experience, #outdoor control must check in!
Highlights of this main line: Mt Washington snow scooter activity, with daylight sun-splashed snowfields surrounded by spectacular ridges and pristine forests. From the cable car all the way up the mountain, the silver-white world stretches under your feet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and in front of you is an ice and snow wonderland that can isolate you from all worries.
