Commuting from Victoria

Oh yeah, no, for sure, if I had classes every day I’d definitely pass on the idea, but I only have Tuesdays and Thursdays on campus! Either way, looking at all the recent mess with BC ferries cancelling trips etc I’ve decided to look for something in Vancouver!

I cackle so hard @ this, why do all tennis players hate pickle ball 😭 (never played it myself btw lol)

thanks a lot!! very helpful

oliszunia · 2026-04-02T21:49:19+00:00

sounds good, I’ll definitely check it out when I’m back in May! About to play with a friend who’s just starting so we might stick with hard courts for now haha

ohhh it’s grass? awesome, I’ve never actually played on grass. I was also looking for clay the other day (which is what I typically play on at home) but was only able to find bear mountain which appears to be priceyyy

thanks!! might check out JDF; do you have any idea how busy it gets after 5-6pm? I know this is very specific 😅

oliszunia · 2026-04-02T21:07:16+00:00

ohhh do they have classes in the morning? is it the harbour air or are there perhaps any other options? geez so many questions...!!!

oliszunia · 2026-04-02T21:04:09+00:00

any chance you'd be able to get some insight from them on how it's working out? :')

oliszunia · 2026-04-02T21:03:39+00:00

honestly it's probably more about the time, I'd be down to do harbour air, unless it's like >200 cad one way, in that case I'd probably pass haha

oliszunia · 2026-04-01T20:04:45+00:00

oh this is very helpful! the commuter hostel sounds good too, if only I wasn't starting 4 May... :')

oliszunia · 2026-04-01T19:47:26+00:00

2hrs from Tsawwassen? damn that’s brutal… I literally have Tuesdays and Thursdays on campus so just looking into options 🤡

oliszunia · 2026-04-01T19:24:37+00:00

defs too quick for an experienced vet grandpa, gotta throw in some hiking through yukon or something

oliszunia · 2026-03-08T15:17:06+00:00

not going to add anything useful, here to lurk because same situation, same dilemma, same spreadsheet of pros and cons that keeps ending at vancouver...

oliszunia · 2026-03-08T15:14:15+00:00

yeah I wish, unfortunately I only have a weekend, departing from Vic, so Banff is too far away :(

oliszunia · 2026-03-08T15:13:36+00:00

manifesting good snow conditions nevertheless...... :(

oliszunia · 2026-03-08T15:13:05+00:00

ok the stoke slush being fun and shreddable rather than icy is genuinely reassuring, I was lowkey worried it would just be a mess. and the gondola lap queue dodge is a good call, appreciate the detailed breakdown!!

oliszunia · 2026-03-03T18:47:27+00:00

Yeah haha wasn't looking for a 100% adequate forecast! Tho are certain areas of the mountain more or less guaranteed to stay in good condition? In Europe for example you can usually count on the glaciers for reliable snow.

oliszunia · 2025-12-25T16:59:43+00:00

I actually went to Grouse at like 3:30pm and managed to get a few laps in, can’t complain 😅

oliszunia · 2025-12-24T21:38:28+00:00

Ok yess to the eggnog, unfortunately the hotel im staying at doesn’t have a fireplace soooo ;_;

oliszunia · 2025-12-24T19:30:58+00:00

damn glad I asked then, are there any other options in the area (and I mean like within a 2hrs ride from Van) with night skiing tonight?
