Mt. Seymour- has plenty to offer other than great family skiing and snowboarding. Located a half hour drive from downtown Vancouver, Seymour offers great machine groomed runs for all abilities, extensive backcountry touring access, night skiing, snowshoeing trails and a snow tube park and toboggan area. Be sure to stay inbounds though unless you are experienced with the out of bounds terrain as it is quite easy to get lost once you are past boundary lines. George

Skiing Seymour - Conditions here have been sketchy over the last few years, but Seymour is doing all it can to get back some of the market share it has lost to Grouse and Cypress. What's great about Seymour is that if skiiing or snowboarding are not your thing (how can it not be!?), there's great snowshoeing in the area as well. Snowshoeing to the peak is an activity that should only be done by experienced snowshoers, but for those with less experience, a nice trek to Dog Mountain (an offpeak of Seymour) is great. For amazing views of Vancouver, do the Dog Mountain snowshoe at night! Darren

Skiing Mt. Seymour-Seymour is a superb ski hill for beginners and who want to learn to ski or snowboard from well qualified instructors. The staff are excellent and will go out of their way to help you if need be. The lifts are a little old, but that adds to the charm of the mountain. Best part, seasons passes are very cheap so even if you don't get out a lot, its still a great bargain. Alan
