The Economist: Vancouver, where the livin' is easiest

Vancouver was just voted #1 city to live in on the planet by The Economist. There's no doubt that living in Vancouver is very good. This time of the year: spring has sprung and the cherry blossoms are about to pop across the city, North Shore trails are good to go (as they are year-round), restaurants are worldclass, the locals are chilled but still spicy and the nearby mountains are choking on dry powder. It's good here. Read the article here.

Who dosen't like a good cherry blossom?

BTW, we're running a stellar all-mountain trip this summer out of Vancouver, Sea to Sky from July 23-30. Come check out this region for yourself!

Mountain Biking Australia covers our BC trip

This summer we organized a private woman's-only media trip for Specialized Bicycles as they launched a new line of ladies mountain bikes. The group flew from Whistler to a remote lake where we camped, then the next day we rode to another lake where our gear was flown to and where we camped again and then rode out to civilization the next day. Many rivers were crossed, passes climbed and descended...forest fires dodged, a few mosquitos and a whole bunch of sweet singletrack was ridden. What a trip! Here's one of the stories that's hit the press. We even got the cover shot!
