A nice smaller very affordable ski resort. Not very big but enough lifts and a variety of runs. Seldom a long lift line. On site accommodation but no village per se. It's 20 minutes up hill from the town of Courtney which has restaurants and shopping. If you stay on the mountain you'll want to bring groceries and cook. The xcountry trails are extensive, well groomed with a variety of skill levels and fantastic views across the Salish Sea to the mountains on the mainland coast
This place is value for money with variety for the whole family, from the covered magic carpet lift for kids and beginners to the tube park and double black runs ( not always open). Night skiing on weekends too. Back country through the trees is an option but I would only try that with someone who knows where they're going. Day tickets run about 30% of a Whistler Mountain ticket.
Some winters they get in excess of 3 meters of snow but conditions are variable can be hit or miss.
All around, good fun and value for money.
