The terrain here is similar throughout the whole ski area and with the exception of the very peak of the mountain all falls below the tree line. You can find some nice wide open steeps on the top and the backside of the mountain, but things mellow out in a hurry once you get about half way down on the frontside of the resort.
The snow conditions here are usually similar to those of the Vancouver mountains or Baker, with dry blower powder only making an appearance in the coldest of conditions, and heavier coastal powder being the normal. Like many of the other out of the way mountains in B.C. Mount Washington is fairly low key, you rarely wait in lift lines, lift tickets are decently priced and not much happens at the resort after it closes for the day.

Drive up the Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver for about an hour and a half and you will find yourself in Whistler, arguably one of the most complete resorts in the world. This place has more of everything, more lifts, more trails and more terrain than any other resort in North America.

Silver Star is a serious contender as the best all-around ski resort to visit in BC. It features an abundance of terrain and is serviced by a well-developed lift system. Most importantly, the snow consistently comes early and often here. You're likely to find great conditions at any point of Silver Star's 5 month winter season.

This mountain in South Eastern B.C. gets a ton of snow and is conveniently located just far enough away from any major population to keep it fairly low key. If you have seen shots of people riding through the snow and not on top of it they were probably taken here as Fernie gets some of the lightest snow around.
