    The Overview
    MF
    Michael Fulton
    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    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.

    When to visit Sasquatch Mountain

    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.

    Getting there

    Getting to Sasquatch Mountain, and where to stay

    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.

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    A hanging glacier above the Swiss village of Randa, just south of Zermatt, has been shedding large chunks of ice for weeks, with authorities warning more break-offs are likely. A danger zone has been closed off since June, though officials say the village's 479 residents aren't at risk. It's a familiar pattern for this glacier - it's done this before, in 1819, 1972 and 1973 - but a reminder of how closely Alpine authorities now watch terrain once considered stable.
