Beauty of snow on Mount Seymour (Includes interview and first-hand account)

They are not only last but the most spectacular when viewed in full sun and under completely blue sky. Hiking the Mount Seymour in North Vancouver is the easiest venture on snow during the winter exactly at this time. Snow lost its structure of white feathers, typical for early winter. Having gained a bit of moisture in higher air temperature, it became great provider of stable ground for even unarmed with snowshoes hiking boots.

Steep and longer climbs, even on longer distances are easily accomplished for less advanced hikers. It all pays off on the way back when one can afford a sharp slide down in toboggan style when sitting up on snow. Two and a half hour hike takes to the upper plateau from where there’s spectacular view on Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and the area of West End. More advanced hikers can walk further and having cross country skies is really helpful in fast mowing forward.

Spectacular view over Burrard Inlet from the top of Mt. Seymour. Transoceanic ships are waiting to enter the port of Vancouver between West End with University of BC and Stanley Park that’s linked with Nort Vancouver through Lions Gate Bridge.
