The sunny skies have given way to sleet and even our first snowfall. As a result the hostel is already filling up fast for the coming season. We look forward to seeing y'all up here and don't forget to get those reservations in early. HI-Vancouver Downtown is set to take advantage of Canadian winter with hockey packages and cheap ski lift tickets. Before heading to the slopes, be sure to pick up your lift tickets at either of the HI hostels in Vancouver.
Skate rentals are available at the hostel.
The Curling rink also has a pool table for those that aren t quite ready to throw a rock or two. For a really unique winter activity, check out the famous ice wall at HI-Shunda Creek near Nordegg, in Northern Alberta. Snowshoeing and cross country trails will be maintained and mapped as soon as the snow flies. To make the most of the summer evenings the hostel offers overnight rafting every month when the moon is full.
