Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our ski cabin is at Apex Mountain site of several World Cup races and prior training site for the National Ski team for moguls and aeriels. The cabin has mountain views and is 150 m. from ski-in, ski-out trails. Apex is noted for its dry snow, terrain and sunny weather. Cross-country skiing, an outdoor hockey rink, a 1 km. lit skating trail through the woods, snowshoeing and sledding are available. Our cabin is on a 0.5 acre treed lot and has a main floor, a large loft and a basement which has a pool table and Foosball table. Vehicle exchange.
We enjoy our winter...but would like to exchange for a warm winter holiday. By summer there is excellent mountain biking and a nearby lake for fishing.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We built this chalet in 1993 and use it 4 days a week all winter long. Once there we are able to walk to all activities other than cross-country skiing. At the end of the street there is a popular 45 minute winter walk through the woods, up and down hills and over a creek a few times. We are 150 meters from ski-in, ski-out access to the mountain while the skating rink and the skating loop through the woods (lit for night time skating) are a 1/2 km walk. The resort village is beside the skating rink. It is small, with only a couple of stores, 2 restuarants and a fun pub.
Ski lines are small.
The Okanagan Valley is noted for its hot and dry summers with beautiful swimming beaches and for its 200+ wineries. Our cabin is only 30 minutes from this...but is in a different world. Here there is cooler mountain air and mountain wildflowers. It is very quiet with no stores open over the summer. Mountain biking is popular and there are a limited number of hiking trails
