The Winter Olympics...
Next Door to Vancouver Island

The Winter Olympics are over, but... thanks to the beautiful City of Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), for hosting a spectacular 2010 winter celebration!

For all you guys that made it to the Vancouver Olympics, we here at V-I-A.com hope you had a great time.

AND... thanks for all the e-mails we got with folks wanting to make a short hop over to check out our beautiful Island!

Olympic Training on Vancouver Island

• The Canadian, American, Swiss, and Swedish Snowboard teams trained for 2010 on Vancouver Island - at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. The resort's located on the central Island and the teams lodged right on the mountain.

• Sweden’s national Olympic committee based its Nordic ski teams at Mount Washington on Vancouver Island for their training.

• Mount Washington Resort created an Olympic-level biathlon shooting range.

Visiting Vancouver Island After the Olympics

• PLAN A SKI VACATION
  Mount Washington Alpine Resort - Canada's BEST ski mountain! Record-breaking snow base brings skiers from around the world. Our Recommendation: Book lodging right on the mountain to get the full alpine experience. Mount Washington condos are available for rent, and you can ski right to your door.

• KAYAK
  Grab a kayak and head out for some incredible views of Vancouver Island. There are some excellent guided kayaking tours that we recommend can be done year-round.
