Manning Park Resort is in E.C. Manning Provincial Park in BC’s Cascade Mountains, on Highway 3 between Hope and Princeton. The Alpine Area’s summit is 1,789 metres (5,868 feet) and its base 1,357 metres (4,451 feet), for 432 metres (1,417 feet) of vertical. It has 346 acres and 35 runs, served by the Bear Chair, the Blue Chair, a T-bar, a tow and the Whiskey Jack Carpet. The Indy Pass lists an average of 300 inches of snow a year. Lifts run from December to April.
The resort also runs a Nordic Centre with groomed cross-country and snowshoe trails. The park itself covers 83,671 hectares, and Highway 3 runs 58 kilometres through it.
Manning Park has four live cams. Two are at the Alpine Area, one at the Bear Chair and one at the novice area. The other two are down at the resort: Lodge Roof, on the roof of the lodge, and one on the Skyview RV Campground. The resort cams show conditions around the lodge, and the Alpine cams show the ski hill. The snow report on the same page gives new snow and depth for both the top and the bottom of the hill.
The resort is on Highway 3, 68 kilometres east of Hope and 68 kilometres west of Princeton. BC Parks says the park is within a three-hour drive of both the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan.
BC requires winter tires or chains on Highway 3 east of Hope, through the park, from October 1 to April 30. A legal winter tire has the M+S or mountain snowflake mark and at least 3.5 millimetres of tread. DriveBC shows road conditions.
Manning Park is on the Indy Pass with 2 days, and blackout dates apply. It isn’t on the Epic or Ikon Pass.
