2 Canadian ranches in 'Fall for North America on these 8 Horse Ranch Holidays'

@danielles_lens There is no better place in which to snap autumn's kaleidoscope of colours than the USA and Canada. At this time of year, its larger-than-life landscapes bathe in a sea of fiery reds, brilliant oranges and shimmering golds, and there are plenty more options than New England. Best of all, you can take in these spellbinding 360-degree views from the saddle. Leading riding holiday specialist Ranch Rider has selected seven properties (the list includes working, guest, dude, and…

One of the world's oldest religious monuments is 'Canada's Stonehenge' in Alberta

Just came across this in BBC Travel. The Iniskim Umaapi medicine wheel, on a windswept hill on the prairie of remote southern Alberta near Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park, dates back some 5,000 years. It's a fascinating tale - read it here.

Thanks Allan and Colin. That's what I wanted to hear!

I live in Vancouver. We have snow at Grouse, Cypress, Seymour and Whistler/Blackcomb - the lack of snow "problem" was blown out of proportion by the obvious importance of the Olympics. All snow locations have occassional "problems" during a season... As Allan says there's a good chance of skiing November through April. The hiking, biking, zip-lining, golf, etc in the Spring/Summer isn't bad either...

Thanks. The honour of the nation was at stake.

BTW, I was in Vancouver Dec. 08 and in Vancouver and Whistler in January 09 doing my Olympic coverage. It snowed in December and almost brought the city to a halt. I was out to dinner with friends on Saturday night. It snowed three inches and the next evening my flight was delayed seven hours because of the snow!

Whistler had tons of snow then and it snowed while I was there. I've been to Whistler five times and even in April you'll have enough snow on the mountain to ski or snowboard. I don't ski, but I started getting snow reports about mid-November for Whistler.

Yes, and you earned it. Congratulations Canada !
Allan Lynch March 1, 2010 at 1:31am

Whistler had snow all along. Remember, Vancouver is on the coast, Whistler is two hours away in the mountains.

Oh, btw - we won gold at hockey!!!
David Lawrence March 1, 2010 at 1:21am

After looking at these Winter Olympics, I can't decide if I should ski Whistler-Blackcomb next year or not. Have you been? How reliable is the weather?
