March 2004
We headed off for a weeks snowboarding to Big White in Canada, and tagged a day in Vancouver on the front to take advantage of a good exchange rate to buy some cheaper snowboarding gear. Managed to eat in a great restaurant, before heading off to Big White. We’d hired a Dodge Dorango so fitting 5 of us plus gear in wasn’t a problem – although picking up our groceries in Kelowna on the way through did mean that people were resting their feet on crates of beer.
Big White was a great resort with enough terrain to keep us (beginners) and Jeremy and Kirsty (experts) happy, our accommodation was excellent and although there aren’t a huge amount of restaurants there was enough to keep us occupied for a week.
From the snowboarding perspective, we had a couple of 2 hour semi-private lessons which were really good. Very high quality and certainly helped us to get the most out of our second snowboarding holiday.
