We awoke to a wondrous sight: Christmas, in April. Snow wasn’t exactly on anyone’s list of hopefuls for the Hagerty Spring Thaw…but snow we received. Fortunately our photography team of Andrew and Samantha Snucins reported that just 3km down the road it had cleared up. Sun Peaks, to Nelson, via Vernon and Nakusp was our route for the day…and by the time we arrived, it was warm enough for the traditional parking lot party.
