Surrounded by mountains and nestled on the shore of Howe Sound, Squamish is an outdoor-oriented town that is busy every season. Between November and March, winter enthusiasts revel in snowshoeing and fat-biking opportunities in the valley and winter hiking at the Sea to Sky Summit. The summer season between May and August attracts mountain bikers, hikers, kite-surfers, and paddleboarders.
