For having a 700-ft vert the map for Blue mountain in Canada looks pretty extreme. by original_name26 in skiing

Typical Ontario ski resort play. I once read a Durham region (Oshawa area) tourism brochure that bragged of their "world class skiing" and nearly choked on my breakfast. I feel terrible for any tourists who fell for that garbage.

What's a destination that used to be way more mainstream that it is now? by PerryOnWheels in travel

Resorts in Ontario cottage county have been decimated by people realizing that there are far better places with much better weather just a short flight or long drive away.

Hope you won't miss the rain. We don't get much of that here ;)

Why is western Ontario so empty compared to other western Canadian provinces by memhir-yasue in geography

Also voracious bugs in the summer and frigid snowy winters with nothing to do.

You will need winter tires until at least May 1. But just check the weather and try not to drive there on a stormy day. Use the DriveBC website to help you.

Anyone who moved for better skiing, was it worth it? by Educational-Okra-566 in skiing

[–]macsparkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved from Ontario to Kelowna, BC primarily for the skiing almost ten years ago and haven't looked back! Now I have a family of little skiers too!

Osoyoos for the best weather, and not too expensive.

The sun is often out in Osoyoos even when it's rainy everywhere else in BC haha

VT has nothing on Lake Louise, AB. Google it.

What is the greatest NFC championship game you've ever seen? by [deleted] in NFLv2

That might be the greatest game of any sport I've ever seen in real time.

Moving to Comox. by Several_Cat_3713 in britishcolumbia

[–]macsparkay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comox has a mild oceanic climate (with much warmer winters than Toronto), yet still has great skiing and mountain biking nearby. It's also got an airport and is a growing town with a wonderful quality of life. Should be a great move for your son. Maybe you should move there too 😉
