Ha ha, this thread keeps popping up every once in a while, glad it's still going strong. Since we're on the subject of favourite spots (Moraine Lake is a classic), here's an update.
I love the mountains too, mostly in the winter though. Unlike my daughter and many of my friends, I never was much for going south in the winter to the sunny beaches of Mexico etc.
I get sufficient sunshine during the Okanagan summers thank you.
Winter is for skiing, preferably in the backcountry, after all BC (and parts of Alberta) have some of the best places in the world for that.
Here are a couple of shots from this past Feb/March at Vista hut in the Esplanade Range just west of the Columbia River and the Rockies. Life is good.

I stitched a few shots together for a panorama using MS ICE.
Trundle Point at left, Vista Peak at right, with Caribou, Jalibi Peaks and Bearing Point comprising the center massif


For all you snowsports enthusiasts and anyone else with a little time on their hands, here's a link to a photo share slide show with soundtrack of the Vista Hut trip.
There's an option to view full screen and the timing may be changed as well.

Many backcountry lodges also offer summer hiking tours as well... Ok, that's my plug for the BC/Alta tourism industry....
