Overview: The Mt Washington Alpine Resort on Vancouver Island is the second busiest winter recreation destination in British Columbia after Whistler/Blackcomb, with an average snowfall of 30ft (9m) that usually lasts from early winter to after Easter; 50 marked ski runs, snow tubing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing trails and a snowboard terrain park. The resort is also set in a spectacular location, looking out across the Strait of Georgia with vistas of the Sunshine Coast and the peaks of the Coast Mountains. Nearby Comox Valley hosts many of the visitors to Mt Washington in its variety of hotels, motels and B&Bs that offer special ski packages during winter months.  The ski resort is located 20 miles (32km) northwest of Courtenay, about three hours drive from Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
