Mount Washington
Mount Washington Alpine Resort has the deepest average snow base in Canada. We have everything from double-black diamond terrain to gentle groomed runs. Our Nordic skiing and snow-shoeing is world class with over 55 km of winding alpine trails. Strathcona Provincial Park. http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/strathco.html Strathcona Provincial Park is located almost in the centre of Vancouver Island. |
| It is a rugged mountain wilderness comprising more
than 250,000 hectares. Mountain peaks - some perpetually mantled with snow
- dominate the park. Lakes and alpine tarns dot a landscape laced with
rivers, creeks and streams. Summer in Strathcona is usually pleasantly
warm, while winters are fairly mild except for the higher levels, where
heavy snowfalls are the norm. From November through March, snowfalls can
be expected on the mountain slopes and alpine plateaus. Snow remains all
year on the mountain peaks and may linger into July even at moderate
elevations. Summer evenings, as elsewhere in the coastal regions of BC,
can be cool and rain can be expected at any time of the year
