Escape to Winter

It seldom snows in Victoria itself.  In the winter of 2009/2010 we didn't get any snow.  But those who love winter sports often visit Mt. Washington, north of Victoria near the town of Courtenay.  Last winter when Victoria stayed green, Mt. Washington had the second most snow of any ski mountain in North America.  Both downhill and nordic trails are available.  Winter enthusiasts can drive there or take a train or take a bus early in the morning from Victoria and return later the same day.  It's the kind of winter experience most Victorians can relate to.
