From the Canadian Rockies to glittering Vancouver, British Columbia provides a mountain of opportunities for outdoor adventurers and culture vultures alike. Ski Whistler’s celebrity-strewn slopes before unwinding in a thermal pool, spot killer whales frolicking off the rugged Pacific coast, meander through historic Victoria, and let your palate loose at the wineries in cozy Okanagan Valley.
To experience the pristine coast and towering mountains before the Olympic-size crowds come in 2010.
