We're going in June..My husband, our daughter and me...We're staying in Vancouver. Whistler looks like a beautiful place but being from the deep south, we do not ski or snowboard and neither of us play golf. We enjoy sightseeing, dining out and going for long walks...Any suggestions for both Vancouver and Whistler will be appreciated. Can you make it to Whistler and back to Vancouver in 1 day trip? Are there any dinner trains? We love doing that sort of thing. Can you ride a ski lift up the mountain just to check out the view? Please don't laugh at my questions...
What can you do in Vacouver/Whistler besides golfing and snow related activies?
You can go to Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium is there. That is a really neat place to go. You can also search on google.ca and find a list of neat places to visit. =]
Reply:Whistler and Blackcomb village have become an all season resort, no longer known as just a ski destination. During the summer months you can hike, mountain bike, ride horses on trails, canoe, fly fish, roller blade, golf, etc. They also have some really high end restaurants and great specialty shops. Whistler and Blackcomb have a really good website to check out:

Are you looking for a local train package? Rocky Mountaineer is currently in operation. BC Rail's dinner train is now defunct.

Yes, to both Whistler and Vancouver, you can take a ride up the mountains to just enjoy the view. In Vancouver I highly recommend taking the gondola up Grouse mountain on a clear evening, eat at their restaurant and enjoy the amazing panoramic view of the city of Vancouver and watch a spectacular sunset over the Gulf and Vancouver Islands.

Enjoy your trip to Vancouver and Whistler!

Reply:well you don't have to go to whistler to get a great view, take a picnic lunch to stanley park, check out the vancouver aquarium, the planetarium,science world, go to the valley and see fort langley, take a trip out to harrison hotsprings or spend a day at the pacific national exhibition (p.n.e.) and playland which has a midway and stuff. you could make it to whistler and back in one day but why not stay the night?? there is also cultus lake if you are more interested in water. all of these things are in and around vancouver. thee is also capilano suspension bridge and lynn valley canyon. ahh i could go on and on.

i hope these helped you out and enjoy your trip.
Reply:why don't you do a search online to find out the activities available. if not, when you arrive there that day, there will be tons of brochures for you to see and decide what you wanna do.
Reply:Hiking, biking, wandering around the village and shopping.
Yes, it's an easy trip between Whistler and Vancouver. Many people commute to work. There are dinner trains on special occasions, but not as a regular feature - but this will likely be something you will see in the future, as they have had this service in previous years but had to suspend it temporarily. You can ride a ski lift up the mountain, and take a camera with you - the views are spectacular.
You can also boat in Howe Sound, visit Britannia (a mining museum located half way between Whistler and Vancouver) and there are endless things to do in Vancouver, ranging from water activities to visiting the zoo, visiting Chinatown, visiting Science World, the Maritime Museum, or just enoying the beaches. Biking is really great in Vancouver, especially along the Kitsilano beach to UBC beach.
Nothing to laugh at in your questions - they're all very sound and I hope all three of you have a wonderful vacation in June.
There's a great website at HelloBC.com that you might enjoy.
Reply:In June all our skiing, snowboarding and winter activities are pretty much over for the season. Whistler is a village that has shopping and entertainment year round, but be prepared it is very very expensive there. Vancouver is beautiful and has a great deal to offer any tourist. I suggest you try our SeaBus, which takes you from the waterfront in Vancouver across the ocean to North Vancouver. It is breathtaking! And hopefully our beautiful Stanley Park which suffered some damage from several wind storms this past winter will be open again to the public so you can stroll the sea wall. Enjoy your trip.
Reply:It sounds like you would enjoy more urban activities than the great outdoors. The previous answers had covered most of the Whishler areas stuff. The train ride east bound to Banff is a leisurely ride with transfer but it's costly.
I believe you will have a much better time in Victoria, which is located on the Vancouver island. There is a good variety of activities on Vancouver island ranging from the tourist tour to the adventurist. Many of which are done on foot. See the official links below for details.
Reply:Check tourismvancouver,, tourismbc..Rocky moutaineer will be running trains to whistler day trips.vancouver has dinner yahts. There is a free bus around Stanley Park. To sight see get a day pass on transit Vancouver has the second largest China town in North america. Grandville island is nice.Take the godola up to Grouse Mountain A free Imax show is worth the ride.

Snow in atic space help?
I purchased a new home in june 2005 . Yesterday I noticed water leaking from my kitchen cealing. I live in a 2 story cape code so I looked in my atic space above my kitchen on top of my blown in insulation there was a small pile of snow melting causing the leak what the deal please help
Snow in atic space help?
Sometimes dry snow can blow in through your gable or soffit vents(usually were one roof line meets another) If you go up there during daylight and turn off the inside light you will probably see light (and feel a draft) were the snow is blowing in from.You will then want to block that area from the outside.
This happens in most houses from time to time when snow and wind factors are just right and often goes unnoticed. Good luck
Reply:What's the deal? It sounds pretty obvious there is an obvious hole in your roof for free snow to enter. When you looked in the attic did you look up above the snow at the roof? The only other place of entry other than a leak could be from a vent in the roof which are installed to prevent moisture build up in the attic as well as vent in the summer to eliminate heat build up. These kind of vents still should not allow snow to enter. Go up in the attic in the daytime with the entry closed and see if you can see light appearing anywhere in the roof obviously above where the snow showed up, good hunting.
Reply:I would first get a wet vac and remove the snow, It has to be coming from a roof vent if the house is a 2005 the builder should be responsible most new home construction comes with a 5 year warranty, If not you should consult with a roofer they should be able to make the proper corrections in-expensively.
Reply:You need to reinsulate your attic and waterproof it, this time.

I want to know which is the most scenic route through the mountains from the Yosemite area to lake Tahoe?
There are three different routes that are marked as scenic. I just want to know which is the best. We'll be traveling in mid-June, so snow won't be a problem.
I want to know which is the most scenic route through the mountains from the Yosemite area to lake Tahoe?
If you're in a hurry take the eastern route to US 395.
Rt 49 is the most interesting, historic, and beautiful. I pre-read some articles and books about Ghost Towns and the California Gold Rush beforehand but it's not necessary.
I have followed rt 49 to Placerville and then east on US 50. and on a different trip to I-80 then east to Truckee. Both routes are fine. Truckee is a place to visit if you are staying on at Lake Tahoe.
Next time I will take rt 4 NE from Angels Camp. Make sure you stop at Jamestown...RR museum.
Stay away from Fresno. It's "the pits."
Reply:I would take the road east over the mountains to Lee Vining, then up 395, but then I like remote places. I usually avoid Yosemite because it's too crowded!
Reply:I don't know if it is the "most" scenic, but since I like little towns, history, and gold, I would head west out of Yosemite on Rt 140 to Mariposa, then north on Rt 49, the "golden trail" to at least Placerville, then from there up to Sierraville north of Tahoe, take any route to the lake, depending on when you get tired of Rt. 49.

Snow day's wont take days off of school just add more at the end?
I heard that if you have snowdays from school there wont

please answer
So if your suppose to get out at June 5th
and you have 3 snowdays you will be let out at june 8?
Snow day's wont take days off of school just add more at the end?
It depends on the school. I know at my college, we had a few "reading days" at the end of each semester before finals when we had time of to study, and if we had snow days then we would have class on those reading days. Some colleges/universities just let there be one less day of class and leave it up to the profs and students to make up that time. It would be unlikely for a college or university to keep you longer in the year, though, because they know people plan ahead and may have commitments ahead of time based on the scheduled end of school (summer jobs or plane tickets or whatever).
Elementary, middle, and high schools are required to be in session a certain number of days (usually 180), and have to make those up somehow no matter what. Some counties have days already built into the calendar that will be teacher work days or days off unless there is a snow day, in which case they will be regular school days (I know my county does, not sure about others).
Reply:It depends on state law. Most of them have a set number of catastrophe days (which include not only snow days, but heat emergencies, school fires, bomb threats--anything that closes school on a regularly scheduled day). If the school uses up all the catastrophe days, then each additional day of closing must be made up somehow (some schools do end of school year, some might squeeze it out of spring break, etc.).
Reply:Check your school's policies.
I think most elementary, middle, and high schools will add days on, but I don't think colleges do
Reply:no if your school finishes at a set date thats when it will finish. the end of term has to stay at the aranged date otherwise people would not be ble to book holidays etc..

Why is it snowing in June?
1. It's June.
2. There's moisture in the air.
3. The air temperature is below 0 degrees Celcius.
Why is it snowing in June?
because we want warm weather and we just cant always have what we want.
Reply:June is Summer in the Northern hemisphere but Winter in the Southern hemisphere. Temperatures in the South hemisphere would be cold so if you live in the South hemisphere that's why.
