The terrain here is similar throughout the whole ski area and with the exception of the very peak of the mountain all falls below the tree line. You can find some nice wide open steeps on the top and the backside of the mountain, but things mellow out in a hurry once you get about half way down on the frontside of the resort.
The snow conditions here are usually similar to those of the Vancouver mountains or Baker, with dry blower powder only making an appearance in the coldest of conditions, and heavier coastal powder being the normal. Like many of the other out of the way mountains in B.C. Mount Washington is fairly low key, you rarely wait in lift lines, lift tickets are decently priced and not much happens at the resort after it closes for the day.

The mountain has three different areas to choose from, all offering up something different, allowing you to escape the crowds even on the b... [ Read More ]
