RIDES TO MOUNT WASHINGTON - VANCOUVER ISLAND
Snow is definitely in the air! Today and tomorrow we are expecting show showers . Right now, it is snowing at Mount Washington Alpine Resort, adding to the 60 cm or so that is there now. Thursday December 6th is opening day provided, of course, there’s enough snow.
So it’s time to let everyone in Port Alberni, Whiskey Creek, Coombs and Qualicum know that Rainbird’s Snowbus will be going to Mount Washington every Saturday and Sunday, during the Christmas holidays and March Break.
As many of you know, Mount Washington is Vancouver Island’s premier ski resort. Both cross-country and downhill facilities are available. There are a wide variety of runs from über-expert to rank beginner. There are ski and snowboarding lessons available, two large lodges to warm up in with a restaurant or cafeteria and a bar. You can rent a condo there or even buy one so you don’t have to make the trip up and down the mountain every day. To find out what the snow conditions are the resort has a web site and a web cam.
