If you’re travelling to Whistler this summer for your vacation stay in one of the luxury or owner direct Whistler acccommodations, be sure to stop for a day or so, (or a few hours) in Squamish, BC, Canada.
Squamish, only 1 1/2 hours from Whistler, and right along the Sea-to-Sky highway on your ride up from Vancouver, is known across Canada as the recreation capital.

Squamish tourism has been bustling with activity as more travellers are finding their Squamish accommodations in this small town nestled right along the coast. But don’t be fooled by the quiet surrounds, this town is bubbling with activities for the sports enthusiast. From some of the best hiking in BC, to wind surfing, kite boarding, kayaking, rock climbing and more, this town has it all.

To some who travel to Squamish for the day, or stay in one of the few accommodations in Squamish, will find this town offers some of the best wind surfing and kite boarding around. For those interested in carving up the water this summer, be sure to visit the Squamish Windsport Society.

The Squamish Windsport Society is a non-profit society providing sailors with access to high wind sailing where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound. Squamish has more high performance sailing days on the water than most other places in North America. Squamish is outstanding in terms of  moderate wind speeds, reliable and consistent conditions, easy access, availability of supreme conditions for many additional outdoor activities, and spectacular ocean-side mountain surroundings.

Warm winds and sunshine are a blessing to all those people familiar with cold and blustery storm fronts which power windsurfing and kite sails in most other places across the country. The warming air of springtime north of Squamish causes the southerly “thermal inflows” to build, coming in off the cool ocean, and in the summer the afternoon winds blow like clockwork. The winds accelerate up Howe Sound through the valleys of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor, reaching peak speeds through the Squamish narrows consistently at strengths between 15 and 25 knots. The more the sun shines, the stronger the winds blow. From time to time frontal systems pass through with strong winds and temporarily break up the regular pattern. Sailing into the sunset is possible in Squamish.

So if you’re hitting Whistler this summer for your golf vacation or hitting the Bike track, or just visiting and renting a place in Whistler, be sure to stay a day or two in Squamish and take in secrets this recreation capital is known for across Canada.
