Submitted on December 13th, 2008 by Brian I stayed for two nights in the Pinnacles Suite Hotel during a skiing trip with some friends. The hotel overlooks Silver Star Village and the Monashee Mountain Range, so the view was spectacular. My room had outside access and a locker, making it easy to store my equipment and get to most of the ski runs. There are public rooftop hot tubs - a very nice way to rel ...

Submitted on December 2nd, 2008 by Brian I spent several days at Christina Lake while traveling between Vancouver and Calgary over the summer.

Submitted on November 4th, 2008 by Brian From Port Alberni, I boarded the M.V. Frances Barkley and traveled through scenic Barkley Sound to Ucluelet. At the corner of Peninsula Road, I rented a studio cottage for about $100 from Reefpoint Cottages. Far from the water, but I spent most of my time exploring the island. The cottage itself was much more spacious than I expected, with a kitchen, a barbeque on the deck, and a hot tub (which ...
