Exploring Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton: A road trip along B.C.'s Sea-to-Sky
Article content I managed to enjoy one of the last days before both mountains officially closed for the ski season on May 19. Not to fear — Whistler Blackcomb has some incredible programming planned for the summer season, with the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola reopened for weekends until June 13, and daily after that. Check out the Summer Alpine Experience, which includes alpine hiking and running trails, bike park, endless wildflowers, epic snow walls and the Mountain Top Feast with live music, great eats and panoramic views. Article content This hotel has my heart. After working here as a teenager (I may have cleaned your room) and falling in love with the company culture, I find myself returning at least once or twice a year for a staycation. The Chateau lives up to its reputation, offering a warm atmosphere, inclusive of families and locals and even offers a discount for Sea-to-Sky residents in the off season. The food, pools and rooms never disappoint, and we're always greeted by staff as if we're family. Fairmont Fridays are back from 5-7 p.m. all summer long, with live music and deals on summer-inspired cocktails and tapas. Plus, back for its second year at the end of June is Radiante — an elevated tacos and tequila pop-up nestled in Fairmont's hidden garden patio. If it's anything like last year, you can expect thoughtfully executed small plates with bold Latin flavours and a lively, approachable atmosphere. Article content Article content Audain Art Museum Article content Featuring a permanent collection of over 200 pieces by renowned B.C. artists and rotating exhibition rooms, the museum itself, designed by Patkau Architects, is a work of art. This time, I toured the Curve! Exhibition, featuring woman carvers of the Northwest Coast and their contributions to the tradition of Indigenous carving. Article content Lorette Brasserie Article content The latest addition to Whistler's impressive dining scene offers a French brasserie-inspired menu and atmosphere, with a Coast Mountain backdrop. Order classic French dishes like steak au poivre and duck confit, or try the beef tartare enhanced by rich, flavourful bone marrow. Article content Article content We were sadly too early to enjoy this wellness series, featuring 60+ unique events over five weekends of June. I've already planned my next trip up the highway to enjoy mountain-top yoga, guided forest walks and sound baths. The speaker series features mental health advocates, wellness coaches and naturopaths, and the event culminates with the Art of Wellness Market and long table dinner on June 20. Article content Article content Pemberton Article content I took the RRS off-road, looking for mud, snow, or ice, and lucked out down an unmarked forest service road. I tried the Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control feature, which sensed the terrain, automatically controlling the vehicle's speed and helping maintain optimum control — it made off-roading easy, a job I normally reserve for my partner. Article content Article content My three-year-old's most treasured stop along the Sea-to-Sky, this family-friendly farm offers pick-your-own strawberries and blueberries, followed by pumpkins in the fall. Pick up root vegetables and eggs, and other local seasonal produce in the farm shop, and gaze at the resident sheep, pigs and chickens. Article content Article content A fourth-generation organic family farm serving delicious craft beers made from barley, malt and hops produced onsite. The tasting room is open daily, and the large outdoor seating area provides ample space for pets and kids to play while soaking in jaw-dropping views of Mount Currie. Don't leave without trying the poutine from Miller's Fries food truck, made with gluten-free, veggie gravy and Canadian cheese curds. Article content Article content

Inside KELOLAND: What to do in Sioux Falls this summer?
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The unofficial start of Summer is once again upon us. Schools are out for the year and that means summer activities are starting up. On this week's Inside KELOLAND, we're going to talk all about them. First, we'll hear from Sioux Falls parks and recreations about what the department has going on for kids, and their overall summer activities. 1.2 million yd³ of dirt moving on S. Veterans Parkway Then, we'll sit down with two librarians from Siouxland Libraries to talk about summer reading programs and what else the library has in the works. After that, we'll head back outside to the golf course to talk about summer activities at Elmwood Golf Course and other courses. And finally, we'll go out to Western KELOLAND to see how the Rapid City library's bookmobile is preparing for the summer months. And we'll see how kids in Sioux Falls can get some free meals.
