As Remy made evident in his post on skiing and snowboarding in Vancouver, easy access to nearby mountains is one of the best things about living in Vancouver. And hitting the slopes close to home just got much less expensive, too, with two great deals from Mount Seymour starting this month: Shred for the Cure, Ladies Ride Free & Kids Ski Free.

Mount Seymour’s Shred for the Cure, Ladies Ride Free is a new name for their 6th annual Guys Night Out, Girls Ride Free event: From January 9 – March 12, 2012, ladies ride free every Monday night starting at 6pm.
