frozen waterfalls
 

I have seen photos of frozen waterfalls in books etc, and was wondering if there were any near Vancouver. We will be driving up to Whistler for a day also, so maybe somewhere on the way? We are talking January.

In and around Vancouver, even on the local mountains, it would be very unusual for it to get cold enough to freeze a waterfall. In very cold snaps small waterfalls along the Sea to Sky Highway will become partially or wholly frozen and they can be beautiful that way. But big ones like Shannon Falls might freeze over once every ten years or so but with global warming even that may not happen anymore.

need to head further east into the rockies

We'll also be going to Silver Star mountain. Are there any near there possibly?

no, non around silver star...as said, got to get into the rockies

I agree with the answers above. Vancouver is located in a temperate rainforest area so frozen waterfalls are extremely rare. Farther east to Banff/Lake Louise (Alberta) in the middle of December would be more like it. Hard core golf addicts can book tee-off times in Vancouver during the winter.
