| Come spend time on Mt Seymour this winter and immerse yourself
in magnificent snow capped mountains and breathtaking views of Vancouver, the
Islands, and the Valley. We invite you to visit Mt Seymour and spend a day or
season with your friends and family carving some turns, ripping some powder,
catching some air, or hiking a pristine snowy trail, and start your own snow
filled adventure.
The Mount Seymour ski area has four lifts, the Mystery Peak, Brockton,
and Lodge double chairlifts, and the Goldie Lake Ropetow. A fifth double chairlift,
the Ridge Chair was destroyed in a windstorm in 1998, and is currently still
standing, though gradually rotting away. Another beginner lift, the Enquist
Ropetow was removed in the early 1990s. The area offers 330 metres of vertical
drop and 1700 centimetres of annual snowfall. Skiing and snowboarding is available
on 21 marked trails and many unmarked routes. The longest trail is 1.6 km long
and over half the trails have night lighting. Additional terrain parks exist
for freestyle and halfpipe activities. Terrain has also been developed for snowtubing
and tobogganing.
Guided and unguided snowshoeing takes place on a separate 10 km network of
maintained trails. Backcountry access for snowshoeing and camping is permitted.
Mount Seymour's Enquist Cabin, located in the Tube Park Parking Lot was destroyed
in a fire in the late spring of 2005. The cabin was available for rental and
was the home of the Mount Seymour Ski Club. |
