Mt Seymour Ski Resort, North Vancouver

Mt Seymour: North Vancouver's Family-Friendly Ski Hill

Mt Seymour is the most easterly of Vancouver's three North Shore ski areas, set inside Mount Seymour Provincial Park about 30 minutes' drive from downtown. It is independently operated, has a relaxed, local feel, and is a favourite with families, beginners and anyone learning to ski or snowboard.

The mountain

Five lifts serve around 40 runs across roughly 200 acres, with about 330 metres of vertical. Much of the terrain is gentle to intermediate, with tree runs and steeper pitches for stronger skiers, several terrain parks, and night skiing on lit runs. Beyond the lifts, Mt Seymour runs a popular snow tubing and tobogganing area and marked snowshoe trails, and the provincial park is a gateway to backcountry touring for experienced, properly equipped visitors.

2026–27 season

Mt Seymour has said it anticipates opening around December 11, 2026, conditions permitting, with the season usually running into early or mid-April. In 2026 the resort also asked the public for input on its Ski Resort Development Plan, which sets out longer-term improvements for the mountain.
