Its the place to be if you want snow in the Lower Mainland. Prime location with good elevation, up in the mountains, and sheltered from the S winds. The only problem is the average person can not afford to live up there. Those who bought years ago when it was cheaper lucked out in a big way.

That building has 280 meters elevation. I'd rather be at the top, which is around 350 meters, but anything 200+ meters is a big improvement.
