Active Pursuits Frommer

Just about every imaginable sport has a world-class outlet within the Vancouver city limits. Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sea kayaking, fly-fishing, hiking, paragliding, and mountain biking are just a few of the options. Activities that can be practiced close by include rock climbing, river rafting, and heli-skiing.

An excellent resource for outdoor enthusiasts is Mountain Equipment Co-op, 130 W. Broadway (tel. 604/872-7858). The MEC's retail store has a knowledgeable staff, and the Co-op also publishes an annual mail-order catalog.
