Mt Seymour is in Mount Seymour Provincial Park in North Vancouver, and the resort says it’s 30 minutes’ drive from Vancouver. The top is 1,265 metres (4,150 feet). The base at the day lodge and parking lots is 1,020 metres (3,346 feet), and the lowest point is 935 metres, for 330 metres (1,083 feet) of vertical. There are 200 acres and 40 runs, with 13 runs lit for night skiing. The Mystery Peak Express and Lodge Chair are quads, the Brockton Chair is a double, and there are two covered carpets.
The resort averages 1,000 centimetres of snow a year. Vancouver’s Wood family has owned and run it since 1984. There are 3 terrain parks, and off the slopes there are 4 tubing lanes, 8 toboggan lanes and 11 groomed snowshoe trails.
The Stoke-O-Meter cam watches the snow stake, which is cleared every night at 9 pm. What’s on it in the morning is the overnight snowfall. The Mystery Peak cam shows conditions up high, and the resort also posts a still image from Mystery Peak.
The park entrance is on Mount Seymour Road, just north of Mount Seymour Parkway in North Vancouver, 15 kilometres northeast of downtown by the Second Narrows Bridge. Mount Seymour Road is closed from 10 pm to 7 am every day from November to April. In winter, the resort runs a shuttle bus from Parkgate Community Centre in North Vancouver and from opposite Rupert SkyTrain station in East Vancouver. On weekends and holidays, drivers need an “Arriving by car” ticket or reservation.
The resort requires winter tires with the mountain-snowflake or M+S mark on every vehicle from October 1 to March 31. In extreme conditions it requires all-wheel drive with mountain-snowflake tires, and its traffic attendants can turn away vehicles that aren’t equipped. DriveBC shows highway conditions.
Mt Seymour isn’t on the Epic, Ikon or Indy Pass.
