I went snowshoeing today in Mt Seymour. The weather today is expected to be rainy. There isn’t any public transit to Mt Seymour as there is to Grouse Mountain, but there is a shuttle bus that you can take from lonsdale quay for $8 each way. Although it is supposed to rain today, there were 15 of us scheduled to meetup for snow shoeing. When is it ever NOT raining in Vancouver. Rain in Vancouver is usually quite tolerable and mostly light. I arranged to be driven to the mountain. Visibility was next to nothing on the way there, all you could see was white fog. I was really afraid for my safety in the car because not only was it foggy on the outside but it was also really foggy on the inside so visibility was really low and nothing much was being done to demystify the inside.
When we arrived it was lightly snowing. We managed to all find each other and go into this tiny rental shed to get our snow shoes. It costs $26.50 plus tax which I think is expensive. The trails are narrow and not labelled very well. A group of us took off in this light snowy weather. I love how Canadians are so outdoorsy that on a day of such bad weather, there is still a significant amount of people willing to go out and go snow shoeing Read more… …
