Snow Day in the Callaghan Valley Family Itinerary

Arrive in Squamish and stop for a kid-approved breakfast at The Crabapple Cafe. Continue North to the Callaghan Valley's Olympic Park for a day of fun in the snow, Nordic skiing or snowshoeing. Rental equipment is available for kids and adults and child chariots can also be rented for families with little ones in tow. Lessons and guided tours are available, or pick up a trail map and head out on your own. When it's time to warm up head inside the Day Lodge where you will find a hearty array of soups, sandwiches, chili, poutine, and more. 

After your snow day check-in at family-friendly Sandman Hotel and Suites and enjoy a soak in their indoor heated pool. Parents can relax in the hot tub as kids play in the pool and indoor waterslide. Each room is equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, sink, and coffee-tea station for your convenience. After you've settled go out for dinner at nearby Backcountry Brewing where kids and parents can enjoy delicious thin crust pizza.
