Diving into Northern B.C.’s snow-loving culture
_
Our SkiNorthBC Expedition kicked off in Terrace, B.C. But before I even landed, I got some insights into the place I was about to visit, because my seat mate on the plane was a Terrace local. As soon as I told him it was my first time there, he lit up and began to tell me all the things I needed to see and experience. His stories got me pumped to find out more about this small city of about 13,000 people nestled along the Skeena River in the Cariboo Region. As we landed he pointed out his below and I could tell the immense pride he had about his hometown. Embrace winter in the North. Plan your trip to Terrace… I was ready for my Northern B.C. adventure to begin.

Stay at Skeena River House B&B
The minute I walked into Skeena River House, I felt at home. That’s probably because it is the family home of the couple who own and operate it. Their down to earth manner and welcoming smiles felt as warm as the fire crackling in the corner. Read more: http://bit.ly/2l47h4g
