Sasquatch Mountain's summit reaches 1,317 metres, dropping 337 vertical metres to a base at 980 metres across 34 runs spread over roughly 121 hectares in the Hemlock Valley, British Columbia. Terrain splits 46 per cent advanced, 34 per cent intermediate, 20 per cent beginner and no dedicated expert terrain, with average annual snowfall of roughly 13.0 metres, among the highest totals of any resort in British Columbia. The resort carries Indy Pass affiliation. Four lifts, including one double chair, one quad chair and one triple chair, serve the mountain alongside one surface lift.
Sasquatch Mountain holds a genuinely distinctive place among Fraser Valley resorts for its considerable, reliable snowfall and its 2017 rebranding, which recognised the cultural significance of Sasquatch, an anglicised pronunciation of 'sasq'ets', a Sts'ailes word describing a primary caretaker of the land. Its comparatively advanced-weighted terrain has built the resort's reputation as a genuine, if modestly scaled, powder destination.
Hemlock Valley opened for skiing on 21 December 1969 under Hemlock Valley Recreation, with facilities limited to a single rope-tow lift and an old school bus fitted with a wood-burning stove serving as the lodge. Around 30 to 40 families visited that first season, and a proper lodge followed through the 1970s alongside three chairlifts, the third completed in 1978.
The resort closed into bankruptcy receivership in 2005 before Berezan Hospitality Group purchased and reopened it in December 2006. The rebrand to Sasquatch Mountain Resort followed in March 2017, and the province and Sts'ailes First Nation signed an agreement in 2019 to share the benefits of the resort. Adult daily tickets run from 75 to 89 Canadian dollars.

Sasquatch Mountain runs four lifts: one double chair, one quad chair and one triple chair, serving 34 runs across roughly 121 hectares, alongside one surface lift. This network traces directly back to the single rope-tow lift that served Hemlock Valley's 1969 opening.
Three chairlifts were added through the 1970s under Hemlock Valley Recreation, with the third completed in 1978, forming the foundation of the network that Berezan Hospitality Group inherited following its 2006 purchase and reopening of the resort.
The quad and triple chairs now distribute skiers efficiently across Sasquatch's heavily advanced-weighted terrain, supported by the area's considerable, reliable snowfall among the highest totals in British Columbia.
Under Berezan Hospitality Group's ongoing ownership since 2006, continued investment has supported this four-lift network as part of the Indy Pass system. Specific recent individual lift replacement projects are not confirmed in available resort information. Sasquatch's compact lift network remains well matched to its considerable snowfall and advanced terrain focus.

The 2025-26 season at Sasquatch Mountain ran from 13 December 2025 to 5 April 2026, a roughly sixteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 13.0 metres, among the highest totals of any resort in British Columbia. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in the Hemlock Valley.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent, substantial snowfall to Sasquatch's advanced-weighted terrain. As an Indy Pass resort, Sasquatch draws value-focused skiers and pass holders alongside Fraser Valley locals seeking the area's considerable, reliable powder.
Sasquatch's proximity to the Fraser Valley continues to draw regional visitation throughout the season, particularly given the resort's comparatively affordable pricing relative to the larger BC destinations. School holiday periods bring family visitation to the resort's more moderate terrain sections.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Berezan Hospitality Group's 2006 purchase and the resort's 2017 rebrand, Sasquatch has continued building on more than five decades of history since Hemlock Valley's 1969 founding. The resort's considerable snowfall and cultural rebrand remain central to its identity each season.

Sasquatch Mountain sits in the Hemlock Valley, British Columbia, with a base elevation of 980 metres and a summit at 1,317 metres across a 337-metre vertical drop over roughly 121 hectares. This setting places the resort in the Fraser Valley region, within a comparatively short drive of Metro Vancouver.
The resort's own base facilities provide lodging and dining directly on-site, with the nearby community of Harrison Hot Springs offering additional accommodation within a manageable drive.
Morris Valley Road and local forestry roads provide access to the resort. Winter driving conditions on these routes can include snow and ice, and travellers should carry appropriate equipment given the area's considerable, reliable snowfall.
Vancouver International Airport, roughly a two-hour drive away, is the primary gateway for visitors flying into the region, with Sasquatch's roughly 90-minute drive from Metro Vancouver supporting genuine day-trip and weekend visitation from the Fraser Valley and beyond.
