ABOUT MOUNT WASHINGTON

Mount Washington is located on Vancouver Island, a 20 minute drive west of Courtenay and Comox (or about 25 km west of the Comox Valley, and 50 km south of Campbell River). It is just over an hour’s drive north (100 km) of Nanaimo. More information is available at: www.mountwashington.ca

Mount Washington has optimal snow conditions, often lasting from late fall to mid-April. It was voted in the top 10 Best Powder by Ski Canada Magazine (2008). On a clear day, visitors to its 1,588m / 5,210ft summit get fantastic views of the many peaks of Strathcona Provincial Park, (BC’s oldest provincial park) the Comox Glacier, Mount Arrowsmith, the Strait of Georgia and Mount Baker in Washington State.
