With so many winter activities in Vancouver, snow tubing is an underrated pastime: the rental equipment is more affordable than skis or snowboards, it doesn't really require any skill, plus it's just plain fun. So many snow tubing hills near Vancouver are super accessible by car, too.

Though many locals shake their fists at Vancouver weather, there are several joys to revel in this season. So before the snow thaws and this elusive mistress (winter) leaves us once more, make sure to spend at least one day riding nature's roller coaster.
