Seymour

Located just
30 minutes from downtown Vancouver, we invite you to join us
for a season of fun, excitement and a variety of winter activities!
With a reputation for receiving the most reliable and consistent
snowfall of the three north shore mountains, Mount Seymour offers
a wonderful escape from Vancouver's dreary rainy days! Mount
Seymour offers so much more than just skiing and snowboarding
- we're a complete winter wilderness mountain facility!
We're proud that our Snow School has introduced skiing and snowboarding
to more generations of outdoors enthusiasts than just about
any other mountain in Western Canada. That's a tremendous feat
and puts us in with some pretty prestigious company! Among our
advantages are the varied terrain which is ideally set up for
a graduated progress as abilities improve, our well trained
and friendly professionals and a commitment to helping each
individual achieve their goals. If you are looking to brush
up on your skills as an intermediate, advanced skier or snowboarder,
our terrain is ready to challenge you!
If you snowboard, freestyle or freeride, then Mount Seymour
is your ultimate choice. Over 60% of our guests are riders!
We have the best natural freestyle terrain, the largest terrain
park and the first inground halfpipe of the north shore mountains.
Mount Seymour boasts it's home to the "Seymour Kids", a group
that has created some of the world's best professional snowboarders.
Devun Walsh, Kevin Sansalone, Jorli Ricker...to name a few.
There's lots more to do at Mount Seymour than skiing and snowboarding
- why not go for a spirited snow tube ride, or experience the
wonder and majesty of the outdoors with a guided snowshoeing
tour?
We have Vancouver's most established and exciting snowshoe program!
With over 10 kilometres of trails to choose from you are assured
to see some breathtaking scenery. Our adventurous interpreters
will guide you through one of the coastal mountain's oldest
forest areas and highlight many natural wonders. Observe the
indigenous wild life, see their homes and experience their environment.
Learn practical outdoor survival techniques so that you can
be prepared for your next snowshoe outing!
Western Canada's first snow tubing park is calling you for the
thrill of a lifetime! Mount Seymour offers five exciting lanes
to choose from with a whopping 50 m vertical drop. All ages
welcome. Just bring your friends and family and we'll provide
the tube and lift back to the top on our easy access tube tow.
Finish the experience off with a steaming hot chocolate! It
doesn't get any better than this!
You're invited to take a break, relax and indulge yourself in
our Rock Chute (licensed for the whole family). This cozy refuge
offers great food, beverages, music and inspiring videos complimented
by Mount Seymour's renowned friendly service whenever you need
to unwind from playing in the snow!
