Fabulous for pottering around - lots of nice flat rides along the
shores. Hilly for commuting and more regular cycling. Fabulous
off-road from relatively easy to Omygod. Ranked as #1 place to live in
the world for good reasons and particularly so if you are the outdoorsy
type. One of the world's best ski resorts 2 hours up the road at
Whistler and two places you can ski half an hour from downtown with
fabulous views. Great hiking too. Negatives. Weather can be wet, its
a long way from anywhere significant. Seattle is the next big city
about 5 hours drive away and then its flights unless you are Canadian
and can happily drive 10 hours each way for the weekend.
