Spring keeps making small appearances and trying to happen. Not only does it make us want to pack up the ski’s and snowsuits, but also dust off our hiking gear and enjoy the wilderness. Living on the west coast, there is no shortage of hiking trails or ski trails around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the Sunshine Coast (by the way, did we tell you we are delivering to the Sunshine Coast now? How exciting!).
On hikes (or the ski hill) you always need a good supply of snacks, here are some of our favorites!
