Skiers: If You Could Move Anywhere... ?

[Campgottagopee]

Agree. However, I'm tired of driving 200 miles+ to get my kilometers in.

I get that!

Reminds me I don't want to move

If the decision was purely about skiing, either Nelson or Revelstoke for the combination of big snowfalls, low skier density and endless touring opportunities.

However, life is much more than just skiing and small, isolated towns such as these would feel quite suffocating after a while.

I had the opportunity to move anywhere within the US and Canada a couple years ago. I always wanted to fuse the outdoor lifestyle I grew up with just outside Lake George with the city life I grew to love after a decade of living in and around NYC. Vancouver seemed like the best of both worlds.

So far, I have absolutely no regrets moving here. I’m 15 minutes away from a lake that reminds me of Lower Ausable Lake, 20 minutes from a fjord that resembles Lake George, a 30 minute bike ride to 3 mountain bike parks—all while living in a neighborhood where I can walk to everything I need. I sometimes miss my family back east, but ultimately I’m so much happier here.

The grass is not always greener, but sometimes it is.

I did my college internship on Long Island and in NYC. That was enough for me to know, without a doubt, city life was definitely not for me. I like living in a place where people actually stop at red lights....lol

I like being in a place where there are barely any red lights at all!

Bellingham, WA

I'd sail the sound with orca in the warmer months, and ski Baker all winter.

Bellingham is a cool town. Some parts remind me a bit of Saratoga—though the people are a bit more eccentric. I’d live there if I couldn’t live in BC.

Summers are also banging in these parts.

To continue the saga... One reason I would move.

 

[Zykamps]

And one more reason I stay. Just don't ask about the adventure in the state lands yesterday.

I don’t think the grass is greener in too many more places than you’re at right now.
