Mount Washington

Mount Washington ski resort is the premier ski resort found on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The resort has really started to shine through in recent years as people begin to hunt out unique experiences rather than the cookie cutter experience the mega resorts all offer. Offering up 648 Hectares of rideable terrain this large ski resort literally has something for every kind of rider. 10 lifts span out in all directions all over the resort to get riders spread out over the 82 runs available which range from entry level to expert double black diamonds. In true Canadian style there are plenty of ski in ski out accommodation options found all throughout the village ranging from shared rooms in lodges all the way up to private chalets. For those looking to stay off the mountain the town of Courtenay can be found 30 minutes down the road where you get an ocean side village with all the amenities any traveller will need.

Mount Washington has 10 lifts which cover the ski resort and get all kind of riders spread out to where they need to go. Below the village is the beginner zone with multiple carpets and a range of T-Bars to help new riders and children get confident on the snow. The Hawk Express and Whiskey Jack chairlift are the next step up for riders as these lifts take riders well up into the resort and have an excellent range of green runs which make their way back to the base. Intermediate and advanced riders will jump onto the Eagle Express and Sunrise chair to find the best blue and black runs. Expert riders will find their way over to the Boomerang chair to spend their day doing laps of the Outback region.
