Mt Seymour's summit reaches 1,265 metres, dropping 330 vertical metres to a base at 935 metres across 40 runs spread over roughly 81 hectares in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Terrain splits 40 per cent each for beginner and intermediate, and 20 per cent advanced, with no dedicated expert terrain, and average annual snowfall of roughly 9.6 metres. Five lifts, including two quad chairs and one double chair, serve the mountain alongside one surface lift and one t-bar.

Mt Seymour holds a genuinely distinctive place among Vancouver-area resorts as a family-run operation within a provincial park, offering considerable city views from a mountain that was virtually unknown to Vancouver residents before the late 1920s. Its approachable, beginner-and-intermediate-focused terrain has built Seymour's reputation as one of Metro Vancouver's more affordable local mountains.

The mountain was named for Frederick Seymour, second governor of the Colony of British Columbia, though the first documented climb was made in 1908 by a party from the BC Mountaineering Club. Swedish immigrant Harald Enqvist built a lodge with a ski rental operation in 1938, three years after the area was designated a provincial park in 1936.

The Government of British Columbia extended the access road and purchased the ski area in 1949, issuing Enqvist the first Park Use Permit before later concessionaires took over lift and cafeteria operations. Bill Bennett's Social Credit government privatised the resort's operation in 1984, and the Wood family has run Mt Seymour ever since, paying rent for use of the provincial park land. Adult daily tickets run from 65 to 79 Canadian dollars.
