The winters are long, but you could try British Columbia. Besides georgeous Rockie Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it's pretty mild there and the winters are short.

Prevailing westerly ocean winds provide a buffer to warmer summer and cooler winter temperatures. Regional mountains also provide weather protection, and as a result, Victoria has the lowest rainfall on the West Coast and consequently enjoys the most days of sunshine.

Even in January the temperate climate allows outdoor activities such as fishing, sailing and golfing in the coastal areas. "
