We're planning on moving to Vancouver too, but to the city for now. We were just at Lion's Bay, which is a beautiful area, but didn't have enough time to go to the island. Oddly, having grown up in Maine, I'm not a very good skier, but have wanted to try it on the west coast because I understand it is more powdery than icy.

Thanks so much for all your help! I'd love to hear from you when you get there about how you are settling in and I may have some more questions at some point, if you don't mind.

All the best,

Collette
