Manning Park Resort can be found between Hope and Princeton on Highway 3. The resort and its ski area are within the boundaries of EC Manning Cascade Provincial Park. This area is cold in the winter, and consistently gets a deep snowpack.
The ski area at Manning consists of 2 double chairs and a beginner area. It's a small inbounds area, but there is a good variety of terrain. The doubles service two separate faces which both run out to the day lodge area.
The Blue chair is the shorter of the 2. There is a steep run right under the lift. The terrain park is another fun place to shred in this area.
The Orange chair services the most terrain. It rises over 400 meters to the highest point of the area. These slopes can have powder stashes for days, and the view is one of the best in BC.
Red Mountain Resort claims 28% of the runs in the ski area are double blacks. That's definitely a bit more than average! There is a ton of vertical on the 3 mountains that make up Red. It is probably one of the best places in BC to be on a powder day during a season when the snowpack is good.
