Okanagan not filled with smoke, must be July..

We spend a lot of time in Oliver. Holidays and then a handful of times a year. Next time you need a ticket for the track;

Yeah, 2016 was not bad at all.

I had wanted to go again this year, but as you know the conditions were pretty terrible. The one weekend I had actually booked into the Best Western in Kelowna, was the one in Late June that had the “Thundersnow” *insert electric guitar riff here*, so my other Z4M Coupe friend dropped out. Between the weather and hotel availability, it just never came together :-(

As for Area 27, that is more for my brother-in-law, who went from 997CS -> R35 GT-R -> now R8 V10, and has “aspirations” to hang out with those guys, but otherwise has been “too busy” to attend local driver training / auto-x / track days :-P

Personally, I would rather do THIS, which is free:

(yes, the video shows you how I got from OK Falls to Oliver, which I had to visit, due to having the only Chevron station in the area)

Green Mountain Road, for accessing Apex Mountain Resort :

Here is the video:

In fact, a key stop for my planned trip to the area this year would be to FINALLY attend the guided tour at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory . I have driven past it on White Lake Road and  stopped in front of the dishes I think 3 times now, but alas have not had the opportunity to actually visit :-(
