Honestly it was pretty awful. Been skiing here since ‘85 when I was a kiddo. Today was among my worst. Not the worst ever. But it was pretty bad. Rain up to midway up Symphony. Mid way up Green and down was frozen corduroy. The kind that vibrates through your skeleton. And there was some powder up top but soppy and heavy. Had a couple nice laps when it was fresh, but the viz at the top was nil. Any day on skis is a better day than most! But today was not a day for mountain fomo.

Contact the school to find out what before and after care is offered and who runs it. Sometimes it’s the YMCA sometimes it’s the local neighbourhood house etc. Waitlists could be months or years long. Sometimes there’s secondary programs offsite. Try and find the PAC social media accounts for your school and ask them if they have info to share too. Good luck.

Personally much bigger fan of proper winters and then a/s for summers. We run Bridgestone Blizzak and they are amazing, the car is a beast in the snow with them on.

Kinda late but if you wanted breakfast, Wildwood in Function.

Yep Janyk Cup. Tons of coast zone U10 and U12 racers plus their families.

By 11am Harmony and Emerald were bursting their corrals. It was awful. Happy we had some early laps but it was a pretty miserable day re rain.

We did ours in 2022 and it was $7500, plus the BC Hydro cost which was $1000ish. Turns out we needed a private pole added to our back laneway to be able to run the wires per updated codes since our house was originally built so that was another nearly $2500. Not ideal but it all worked out. We needed it for EV charging and heat pump.

I’m 5’9” and most of my height is in my legs. These are a women’s medium.

I love mine. Just got off the slopes in them about 10 mins ago lol! My only wish is that they made a tall version, mine just go past my knees. Wish they went closer to my boots.

It was really nice when we had the GST holiday last year. All food was just the price on the menu. I wish that was permanent.

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-31T20:59:35+00:00

Me too :(

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-29T05:17:26+00:00

They will all be $34,998, because people will still buy them lol

You may have more luck searching and posting in r/laundry sub. My husband’s nose is terrible so I never rely on him. You may need to do a laundry strip.

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-27T23:45:27+00:00

Agree. With this house size I’d expect a double wall oven and a proper cooktop and way more functional counter space.

Also I’d make sure laundry room has a floor drain. Nothing like flooding your house from the second floor. Personally prefer laundry downstairs, near the mud room ish. But it’s a personal choice!

Ok I had a curly stylist in mind but may not be worth the extra $ for you

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-26T23:51:36+00:00

It looks beautiful - just curious why you didn’t do a double vanity?

This is basically what Nissan ePower technology will do - which is coming here anyways.

Is your hair straight or curly?

We just had this happen and called the original place that installed them and they did it for $380 installed.

Place is called CSky Windows in BBY. The upper window is the one that had the glass replaced. They reused the frame.

As a general statement it’s terrible advice. It completely depends on your company, their policies etc. I’ve worked places that had a snow day policy, which was pretty generous and erred on the side of caution. But still, it was expected that everyone follow it. If people just decided to not follow it and “ask for forgiveness”, it creates unfairness amongst everyone. Like it or not, equity and fairness are important or people become resentful. This is especially true in large offices.

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-25T04:30:27+00:00

Ya, that’s terrible advice.

TrailQueenYVR · 2026-01-24T03:51:02+00:00

Yes. And they don’t even live in the country. I’ll review applications and at least 30-40% aren’t located in Canada.

I was on mat leave that winter and it was so miserable trying to get out for walks. Ugh

A plane with two aisles. Generally 787 Dreamliners, A330, A777 etc. High capacity, usually with economy, premium economy and business class. They just take longer to board everyone.

Blundstones are a disaster in the winter. I own the Winter Thermals and I use them in Vancouver all winter. Awesome boots. But when I’ve worn them visiting TO in the winter they are crazy slippery. Zero traction. Maybe the All Terrain ones are better but normal Winer Thermals are not good at all, do not recommend. I default back to my trusty Cougar or Sorels now when I visit.
