Eco-Tourism At Its Peak!
With a major airport right below Mount Washington in the Comox Valley, the resort is the perfect eco-destination. Have you ever tried to snowboard and whale watch in the same day? Or how about trying a Snowshoe Fondue tour on a Friday evening and sea kayak Comox Harbour the next morning? Better yet, land a Coho salmon in the morning and float through the Outback's deep glades later that day. The Comox Valley and Mount Washington offer visitors the perfect eco-tourism partnership.
The Real Ski and Golf Shangri-La!
Ski in the morning and golf on one of the many award-winning courses at sea level that afternoon. With its abundant snow pack overlooking temperate rainforest, coastal valleys, and beaches below, Mount Washington is like no other resort in North America. With an average ambient winter temperature of -2 C (31 F), Mount Washington Alpine Resort is a dream come true for those looking to escape the deep freeze! In 25 minutes, guests can leave the deepest snow in Canada for the year-round green grasses of the Comox Valley. Mount Washington is the land where the legends of golf and ski in one day were born!

The Outback: Mount Washington's Wild Side!
When Mount Washington opened the Outback, skiers and boarders gave the vast new terrain rave reviews. Three years later, skiers and snowboarders are still discovering its secret powder stashes. This impressive expanse offers expert riders countless tree lines and conditions a backcountry enthusiast would brag about. Mount Washington undoubtedly possesses one of the finest backsides in North America. With a north facing aspect, over 10 metres of snow per season, and mind-boggling terrain, why wouldn't you want to take a peak?
