The Marmot

Winter at Mount Washington Resort got off to a slow start last December, but picked up speed through to the spring actually extending the operating season.

A remarkable year is planned for the extremely rare Vancouver Island Marmot.

Visitors wanting to access the Strathcona Provincial Park Trailhead from the parking lot beside Raven Lodge will notice a big change this summer: a new Interpretive Hut.

Grooming is not just a winter activity at Mount Washington Alpine Resort.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are less than a year away, yet one event at Mount Washington Alpine Resort last winter made it seem like the Olympic Games were already here.

The Vancouver Island Marmot is thought to have originated on the mainland of British Columbia, prior to the Cordilleran glaciation about 10,000 years ago.

Mount Washington Alpine Resort is an idyllic resort nestled beside the Beaufort Range, midway between the Comox Valley and Campbell River. It is a retreat, an eco-experience or an extreme adventure.
