Mount Washington Alpine Resort
Ski-to-surf views and some of the deepest snow in the west define Vancouver Island’s Mount Washington Alpine Resort.
Tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the peaks of Strathcona Provincial Park, this resort wows with a staggering 11.5 metres (38 feet) average snowfall a year.
The resort promises a family-oriented, easygoing island vibe, and the alpine village has ski-in/ski-out accommodation for more than 4,000 visitors. Mount Washington also features one of North America’s top-rated Nordic Centres.
