Hey,

since 3 weeks we are in the nice town of Kelowna now.
The city is situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The valley is very popular in the summer time by many tourists. The summers are hot and try so there are alot of vinerys.
Here you can do everything you can imagine. There is the huge Okanagan Lake where you can go swimming, doing waterski, wakeboarding or just relaxing at the great sandy beaches here. Than you have the mountains where you can go mountainbiking, hiking or climbing in the summer too.

But in the winter you can do a lot of things too. All around the city there are a lot of beautiful ski resorts where you can snowboarding and sking in the winter. So there is for example: Big White, Silverstar, Crystal Mountain, Mt Baldy, apex Mountain,.. In the forests you can go crosscountry sking, riding a skidoo or a quad. You have the choice and this choice here is just amazing. The landscape here is so great. There are so many provincial parks where are a lot of hiking trails.
But not only the area around Kelowna is nice. The downtown of Kelowna is very special as well. There are a lot of lovely and interesting pubs, a cinema, a lot of night clubs and shopping facilitys as well. Than there are a lot of nice coffee's, an art walk with an interesting art gallery, a stadium wher the local hockey team called Rockets play...

Everthing together a nice place to spent some time in the Winter.

Greetings from Kelowna

Karsten
