Snowshoe Fondue with Cypress Mountain

Comments 273 by Rebecca Bollwitt

One of my favourite experiences last winter was snowshoeing through the Ancient Forest in Prince George and while I have yet to do this activity closer to home, I always hear people rave about the opportunities on the North Shore.

Snowshoeing in the Ancient Forest

Cypress Mountain offers a variety of snowshoeing experiences including the 4-hour Snowshoe Fondue Tour. Lead by an experienced guide, on this tour you will make your way through snow-dusted woods and sub-alpine meadows.

After working up an appetite, retire to Hollyburn Lodge to enjoy a mug of creamy hot chocolate or steaming spiced apple cider. Warm beverages are followed by a full fondue meal with salad and a cheese fondue with bread, steamed vegetables, and roast garlic potatoes. This is topped off with dessert consisting of a decadent chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and Angel Food cake.

      My favourite snow activity has to be setting up and starring in awesome xmas sweater photo shoots – without the snow background you can only achieve an 80% bad taste rating, which just isn’t high enough for me….!

    2. Stephanie WiriahardjaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:33pm PST

      I’ve always wanted to go snowshoeing <3 <3

    3. VanessaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:35pm PST

      Showshoeing is awesome! Count me in please.

    4. IneThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:36pm PST

      I love snowboarding, and up until 2 years ago, that probably was my favourite snow activity. But then I discovered snowshoeing and because we can take our dog with us (on most trails), this is definitely my new favourite snow activity.

    5. Amy W.Thursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:39pm PST

      Ice skating would be my favourite winter activity!

    6. T KingThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:45pm PST

      tobgganing!!

    7. ChristineThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:45pm PST

      I so want to check this out!

    8. T KingThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:46pm PST

      i mean tobogganing!

    9. TairalynThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 1:46pm PST

      My Favorite Snow activity would have to be Tubing however I have yet to go Snow Shoeing to know if I would enjoy that more. I have a feeling that if every Snow Shoeing experience ended in Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider and a Cheese Fondue it would no doubt be my all time favorite.

      I too will tweet about this Giveaway {@QueenEarlGrey}

    17. marlismcThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:09pm PST

      hmmm, snowboarding is probably top of the list, but I have never tried snowshoeing so I’d be excited to give it try.

    18. EmmaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:12pm PST

      Toboganning is definitely at the top of my list. But I’ve been meaning to try snowshoeing this winter!

    19. KelseyThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:16pm PST

      Snowshoeing is something I’ve always wanted to try.

      I’m currently trying to be a skier

    20. VeronicaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:20pm PST

      Snowball fights in the backyard!
      Admittedly, it doesn’t snow enough to build proper snow forts to protect yourself…

    21. LoriThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:28pm PST

      Making snow angels 🙂

    22. BethThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:40pm PST

      Two of my favorite things are snowy mountains and cheese! Want to try snowshoeing for the first time this year and what a way to go!

    26. MarinaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:48pm PST

      I have a friend who just got engaged while snowshoeing, and I’m dying to give it a try! I have to admit though, my favourite snow activity is going for a leisurely, romantic walk with my hubby. Corny but true. 🙂

    27. AmyThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:51pm PST

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE snowshoeing! My fiancee just bought me a pair of snowshoes for Christmas and would love to break them in! Pick me!!

    30. kickpleatThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:58pm PST

      I went snow shoeing 2 years ago on Cyprus & loved every moment of it. This looks great!

    31. Candice CThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:59pm PST

      Tubing. I LOVE tubing – it lets you feel like a kid again! getting that feeling in your stomach as you get a wee bit of air going over the slightest jump!

    32. AngelaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 2:59pm PST

      The first time I went snowshoeing was a race that my trainer had put me up to doing and it was an exhilerating experience. I would like to try it in a more casual atmosphere such as this. (My favorite snow activity though is to go sledding with the kids!)

    33. JodyThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:01pm PST

      I love to Barbeque in the snow – the condensation coming off that hot lil grill looks amazing! And of course, the eats are great. This is in Saskatchewan where winter means -20 to -40!! I’m taking a break from the cold and coming to the coast in 2 weeks and I’d love to go snowshoeing!

    34. Laura E.Thursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:04pm PST

      I love skating! I have never been snowshoeing, but have mentioned this exact deal to my hubby in the last month. Would be great to win the experience and give it a try!

    35. JessicaThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:04pm PST

      i LOVE ice skating in the winter! the best is outdoor ice skating – on top of grouse mountain or robson square – its magical!

    36. JanisThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:05pm PST

      Never tried showshoeing, but snowboarding and quadding are my favourite snow activities these days.

    37. ErinThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:07pm PST

      I have only snowshoed once and it was fun. I would have to say favourite activity would be tubing. It has fun without the scary factor of snowboarding.

    38. MegThursday, January 6th, 2011 — 3:09pm PST

      I am learning to ski–my favourite snow activity currently!

    118. LauraFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 3:03pm PST

      I love the snow…..just came back from cross country skiing in Kamloops at Stake Lake! I have been wanting to give snowshoeing a try for a while.

    119. RemoFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 4:06pm PST

      I’m a snowboarder! Snowshoeing is a close second, though.

    120. JenFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 4:08pm PST

      I’ve been trying hard to become a better snowboarder, but I think snowshoeing might be more my speed.

    121. RobertFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 4:09pm PST

      Snowboarding a local hill at dusk, watching the city light up below.

    122. PaulFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 4:23pm PST

    125. MayFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 4:40pm PST

      Snowball fights, snow angels and sledding!

    126. CSJFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 5:04pm PST

      Obviously it’s snowshoeing and eating melted cheese…anyone who says otherwise is clearly not worthy of winning :p

    127. HeidiFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 5:52pm PST

      snowshoeing

    132. JuliaFriday, January 7th, 2011 — 10:10pm PST

      My new year’s intent is to do more snowshoeing. I just recently took my 5 year-old up to Mt. Washington just after the mountain was snow ambushed. It was like a Dr.Suess landscape.

      I’m heading up to Cypress this Sunday with a whole crew.

    137. JeanieSaturday, January 8th, 2011 — 10:53am PST

    144. FlyingNurseSaturday, January 8th, 2011 — 3:42pm PST

      I grew up in Montreal. Hard to choose a one winter activity that I enjoy. I enjoy outdoor skating, skiing, snowboarding, being in snowball fights, sugaring off parties, and night fall walks immediately following a fresh fall of snow. Jocelyne

    145. ShannonSaturday, January 8th, 2011 — 4:08pm PST

      snowshoeing on Mt Seymour is gorgeous as well, and it’s such great exercise!

    152. LucieSaturday, January 8th, 2011 — 6:41pm PST

      Snowshoeing is by far my favorite winter activity.
      My Mom keeps dreaming (and talking a lot) about this exact snowshoeing excursion! It would make her so thrilled if I could take her on this.

    178. IzabelaMonday, January 10th, 2011 — 11:25am PST

      Extreme snowshoeing, which is a mixture of snowshoeing, mountain climbing (with your snowshoes on) and cliff jumping (again with your snowshoes on, into mounts of fresh powder). It’s the best!

    179. NicoleMonday, January 10th, 2011 — 11:42am PST

      Snowshoeing! I lived in Whistler for a few years and was beyond spoiled with a ton of places to go snowshoeing daily. Since moving back to Vancouver I don’t go nearly as often as I’d like to. Winning these tickets would be such a nice treat!

    205. ShawnaMonday, January 10th, 2011 — 11:23pm PST

    206. JennyMonday, January 10th, 2011 — 11:36pm PST

    237. AmritWednesday, January 12th, 2011 — 2:25pm PST

      Has to be snowball fights (I know it’s not a sport or anything, but makes you feel like a big kid again).

    238. HeatherWednesday, January 12th, 2011 — 3:04pm PST

      Snow rugby! Even the biggest tackle doesn’t hurt when you land in a pile of powder!

      Second to that, though, I’d say skiing. I’ve been going with my family since I was very young, and it’s an activity that we can continue to share as we all get older.

      Thanks for setting up this draw–if I’m lucky enough to win, I’m excited to take my girlfriend on a snowshoe trek. We love exploring new trails!

    239. A.J.Wednesday, January 12th, 2011 — 5:24pm PST

      I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan of the snow until this year. During the first snowfall we had my bf and I had an amazing snowball fight topped of with some snow angels and I recently went up to Cypress for a day of snow tubing. So I would have to say both of those snow activities would be my favorite!

      My favourite activity is snowshoeing, skiing and just taking pretty pictures on the mountains 🙂

      Love, love, love snowshoeing. Have been trying to get hubby to join me to no avail but this would certainly do it! Thanks for the opportunity. Loved your blog and pics.

      Favorite Snow activity? Putting the Vancouver brag into action – kayak in the morning and ski in the afternoon! Then tweet about it to annoy my eastern friends. heehe
