They like the beach!
It's a two way street! Go to Whistler BC or Mont Tramblant Quebec. 75% of the visitors are America. They enjoy our winter recreation! Personally your wouldn't find me heading south. No interest, I enjoy skiing and snowmobiling too much. And if you look at a map. You would see that Windsor Ontario, which is south of Detroit, is at the same latitude as northern California. |
