A Day in the Snow at Hemlock Valley Resort

Kristi Ferguson — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 22:20:46 +0000

We felt the need to burn off a little steam and have some fun, so we headed up to visit our friends at Hemlock Valley Resort.

Hemlock Valley Resort is located about half an hour east of Mission, half an hour west of Harrison Hot Springs. From Harrison Mills you turn and drive up, up, way up the mountain (approximately 30 minutes). Winter conditions are often severe, so vehicles are required to carry chains. Check Hemlock’s road report before heading up.

What an absolute blast we had. We were treated to a guided alpine snowshoeing adventure with a fantastic guide, Benji. It was quite the workout, but soooo much fun! At the end of the day we channeled our inner children and took to the tubing hills. Now that was fun, and an activity that kids young and old will get a kick out of.

Enjoy Fraser Valley’s local ski hills this winter -we promise you’ll enjoy yourselves! Ladies, Thursdays are ladies day at Hemlock Valley Resort - enjoy free skiing as well as appies in the pub at 5PM and chances to win great prizes!

Special thanks to Shelby and Benji for making our day in the snow so fantastic.

Pulse Adventure: Barnston Island

Kristi Ferguson — Fri, 21 May 2010 22:33:06 +0000

Barnston Island is situated on the Fraser River, in between Pitt Meadows and Surrey, BC. It’s a quaint, serene community of less than 200 people. We’ve heard for years that Barnston Island is a fabulous place for a bike ride; it’s flat, approximately 8 KM around – a perfect outing for a family, a group of friends or a date!

We packed up the FVP mobile with our bicycles, some water and our helmets and headed over to the Barnston Island ferry. The ferry ride is just five minutes across the Fraser River and it is free of charge. The ferry runs daily from 6:15AM, on demand, until 11:55PM (12:55AM on the weekends).

Barston Island is a serene, enjoyable place to ride your bike. We passed only 3 cars on our hour-long bike ride (we stopped to take lots of photos, if you don’t do so the ride would be much shorter). There are all kinds of farm animals and birds (we saw loads of eagles!) to stop and watch. Every so often you’ll pass a little opening in the trees that will lead down to a small cove or beach area along the river – the perfect place to enjoy a snack or sit and take in the soft sounds of the island and river.

To arrive at the Barnston Island ferry, head North on 176th Street in Surrey until you can’t go any further… turn right onto 104th Avenue and travel a few blocks until you reach the ferry parking lot at the river’s edge.

Enjoy your adventure!

Pulse TV: FV Faves at FV Chambers Business Showcase

Kristi Ferguson — Mon, 03 May 2010 23:39:40 +0000

On April 28, 2010, FVP took part in the Fraser Valley Chambers Business Showcase at Tradex in Abbotsford. This was a fabulous trade show where the Valley’s chamber members gathered to show the Fraser Valley residents what we have to offer.

We had an absolute blast with our booth as we introduced our new game, FV Faves. We asked booth visitors to share with us their favourite things about the Fraser Valley – maybe their favourite place to shop, eat, relax, exercise. Or perhaps just why they love the FV in general.
