Vancouver may well be the most active city in the world, and it's hardly surprising given the mild climate and its proximity to a huge natural playground of forests, mountains, trails, rivers, creeks and the Pacific Ocean. Vancouverites ski, snow board, snowshoe, sail, boat, swim, paddle, run, cycle, climb, hike and walk during at least part of the year. Many of these activities are popular year round.

During the winter you'll find three mountain ski areas, all within a half hour of the city of vancouver and only minutes from the North Shore: Cypress Mountain at the top of Hollyburn Mountain, Grouse Mountain Ski Resort at the top of Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour Provincial Park.
