About Mount Washington
Mount
Washington has long been known for having good
snow conditions from early in winter to well past
Easter. This accounts, in part, for Mount Washington
being the third-busiest winter recreation destination
in BC, behind Whistler/Blackcomb and Big White.
Mt. Washington Alpine Resort offers something
for everyone, featuring an average snowfall of
900 cm (30 feet), 50 marked runs, snow tubing,
cross country skiing, snowshoeing trails and a
snowboard terrain park.
A great deal of Mount Washington's charm comes
from its location. On a clear day, visitors look
out across the Strait of Georgia at a panorama
of the Sunshine Coast, from Powell River to Sechelt,
with the peaks of the Coast Mountains rising in
a long march behind. Closer at hand, the many
peaks adorning Strathcona Park's Forbidden Plateau
region look suitably magnificent.
You'll find just about
everything you need on the mountain including
a restaurant, lounge, shops, equipment rentals,
lessons and even a Kid's Zone.
 Mount
Washington Ski Resort is located 20 miles (32
km) northwest of Courtenay on Vancouver Island.
With the new Inland Island Highway and paved Strathcona
Parkway to Mt.Washington, traveling time from
Victoria is only 3 hours.
The Comox Valley and
Campbell River Airports are serviced daily by
Pacific Coastal Airlines and Air Canada. The Nanaimo
ferry terminals are serviced from Horseshoe Bay
and Tsawwassen on the Lower Mainland.
Mount Washington is a "real" family holiday destination and
surely will please everyone!
