Mt Washington Alpine Resort

Nestled into the Beaufort Mountain range overlooking Vancouver Island and The Pacific, Mount Washington is a true snow collector, averaging more than 30 feet of snow every season. True fans fancy The Outback, a 400-acre Double Black Diamond playground of rich glades, magnificent bowls and steep drops. The area is served by a state of the art high-speed detachable quad, dubbed The Boomerang Quad.
