 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
We are currently planning our first trip to Canada. We want to avoid school holidays/peak dates etc and also obviously would like some good weather! We have no idea about local holidays/school holiday dates etc, just want to avoid any crowds?!
We are looking at either big whit or sun peaks.
Any comments/suggestions on best time to go please!
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My personal choice is late Feb, and pretty much anytime in March, even running into April, depending on altitude.
It's generally less cold, less dark, 'though if you're expecting lashings of sun, stick to the alps. Xmas/New Year and January, Canada can be a desperate place.
As rogg says, loads of decent advice, if you can suffer the search function.

Oh, yeah, 'crowds' don't really exist most places, outside of say WB, certainly not weekdays, and not on an alpine scale. Don't let the local holidays put you off too much, it's pretty much a non-issue.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We were thinking of end feb anyway so sounds like a good idea, and glad to hear about lack of crowds!

You'll need to Register first of course.

You could look up BC school holiday dates; I beleive they don't get Family Day, and get Spring break earlier than Albertans
Calgary's spring break is one week in last week of march; the catholic system may be different.
I would go first two weeks in march?
