Sounds wonderful indeed! I was last in BC in May 1999 for a ski trip at Whistler/Blackcomb. My good mate, James Adamson (a Mackintosh), attended the University of BC-Prince George, and I was lucky enough to visit him several times. I have relatives that live in White Rock, near Vancouver. Gorgeous scenery and area, perfect for mountaineering and skiing, as well as many, many other outdoor pursuits.

Cheers,
