Classic Car Adventures

As promised, the accepted entries for the 2011 Spring Thaw Classic Car Adventure, April 29-May 1, have been posted.

Another Spring Thaw is in the books, wrapping up with a romp over the Duffy Lake road to Squamish.

Andrew Snucins braved the cold high-altitude temperatures for several hours to catch some more great photos.

Day 2 of the 2010 Spring Thaw is now in the bag, with participants driving through some of the most scenic parts of Okanagan wine country from Osoyoos to Sun Peaks Ski Resort. Photographer, Andrew Snucins, was there to catch the action…
