Alpine Information
Vancouver Island's Coastal Playground.
Mount Washington has grown to be one of Canada's most beloved local resorts for skiing and snowboarding. For the record snowfall, the amazing people, and the unmatched alpine to ocean scenery. With a summit elevation perched above the nearby Salish Sea, the resort offers 1,700 acres of ski terrain with 1,657 feet of vertical rise, and a historical snowfall average of approximately 11 metres (457 inches) of snow each year; one of the highest snow averages of any ski area in North America.
Experience the magic of Mount Washington's snowy wonderland together. The Tube Park is the perfect activity for the young and young at heart. Enjoy with your whole family! Get pumped up at The Tube Park! Whirl, slide and whoop-de-do, spin, smile and selfie - this is the most fun snow experience you can have sans ski with your household this winter.
Mount Washington offers ski or snowboard lessons, packages, and equipment rentals, to all ages skill levels, or abilities. Save when you plan ahead and purchase before arriving at the mountain! Many of our Lessons & Programs offer early booking savings.
