Mount Seymour summary
The BC Mountaineering Club recorded the first climb of Mount Seymour in 1908. The Mount Seymour Provincial Park was established with a total of 677 acres in 1936. Mount Seymour Resorts Ltd. purchased the contract to operate the ski area, taking over management of 8700 acres of skiable terrain, a ski school and cafeteria operation in 1984. In the past 10 years facilities such as the rental shop, the lodge, Brockton chairlifts, the snow tube park, and the in-ground half pipe, have all been added to make Mount Seymour a complete winter wilderness mountain facility, just minutes from Vancouver. Off the slopes, there is a whole city to explore! Gas town is good. Hastings is a bit rough and the center is great. Don't get lost in Stanley Park!

Visitor Reviews of Mount Seymour

Mount Seymour has something for everyone. I started snowboarding last season and rode here every day. It's got mellow slopes to learn on and the ski school staff were awesome. I progressed to the intermediate slopes and by the end of the season I was riding some of their black runs which are great. Not the longest runs but great natural terrain. Not like Grouse where it's all just flat and wide. The terrain parks are awesome and I saw JP Walker and Chris Dufficy here riding one day. Lots of pros seem to call it home. I mainly learned how to jump in the Mushroom Park but plan on hitting the bigger parks this season.
My little brothers and sisters LOVE the tubing runs, and I kinda enjoy them too. You go so quicly it's great. Staff at Mount Seymour are awesome, some of the buildings are old but it's got a nice family feel. Service can be slow in the bar but it's got a nice feel so you can hang out there.
Love Mount Seymour. Easy access to get to, nice local feel and pro riders to watch and learn from.
