You may be thinking “another rainy day on the Sunshine Coast”, but rain brings a couple of good things: green grass and mud!

Our Sunshine Coast might be renowned for its Sun during the summertime, but winter has its charms. I may be romantic, but a walking on the beach under the rain, with the Vancouver Island in the clouds, the wind and perfection of nature… It’s just the real Coast life.

But of course, the real true good thing about rain is mud. Because mountain biking is that much better when there is mud. The weekend riders will all agree. First going up, lashing rain, against the wind. That much harder, that much better. Then down, Red Baron first, for a bit of technical downhill, then Janet’s Jungle for some jumps and drops (careful, slippery), and then Black Tower to finish, that’s where you add the final touches.
Back down at the parking lot, just smile and let them admire. Head to toe covered in mud? That’s half the fun.

Mountain biking is just one of the countless outdoor activities that the Sunshine Coast has to offer. The Coast way of life is focused on Nature and enjoying it. Whatever the weather.

The Sunshine Coast recently had a chance to listen to one of today’s most famous romantic piano player, and will soon hear the most promising stars of tomorrow.

The Pender Harbour Music Society presented its fourth concert this season. Pavel Egorov performed a piano music to an enthusiast audience. He played Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Glinka. Egorov was recently made the Peoples’ Artist of the Russian Federation, the highest rank an artist can archieve in Russia. In was an honor to receive him in Pender Harbour, the public was charmed and called him back twice with standing ovations.

The Coast Recital Society will close its 2007/08 season with Tyler Duncan and Erika Switzer. The duo are rising young concert stars with a bright future and will play at the Raven’s Cry Theater. Performing all over the world, from New York (their residence) to France thought South Africa, and are acclaimed by critics and audiences. Duncan sings in the lieder, opera and oratorio genres from baroque to modern.
In addition to their recital, they will also perform for the local elementary schools, bringing a new light on classical music.

As always, the Sunshine Coast is promoting culture and arts in all forms. The communities and visitors alike strive for these events.
