If you live to ski and give a hoot about the environment, the town of Steady Brook on the west coast of Newfoundland could be right up your street. The town is home to a green-minded community, with proactive measures like recycling and composting actively encouraged. And thanks to investments in the nearby Marble Mountain ski resort, the town is thriving. Surrounded by the Long Range Mountains and set on the banks of the Humber River, it's a nature lover's paradise.
