Tell me about

Mt Washington

Welcome to the Island. Close to the big city of Vancouver but far enough away to escape the crowds this Resort is a top pick.

Voted in the top #10 snow parks in all of BC as well as having ‘The Outback’; a 400-acre playground of rich glades, magnificent bowls and steep drops – there is something for everyone. High speed lifts and a family friendly vibe will make you want to return.

Mt Washington Alpine Resort has an ideal spread of terrain with 14% beginner, 35% intermediate, 36% advanced, and 15% expert. The beginner and intermediate terrain bring a lot of families and instructor work to the area, while the Outback zone with its combo of trees and open slopes caters for those wanting double black diamond runs.

What it's like working at

What it's like training in

Mt Washington

You will become part of a tight knit team and have great opportunities to develop your instructing skills. First year intern instructors are offered weekend employment contracts. This means you will work every weekend and there is a high likelihood you will work more than this, especially during holidays. For those still wanting more work there are opportunities to cross-train in other departments such as lifts, sales, rentals etc.

People often ask how much it costs to buy food and drink so here’s our shopping list rundown:

A burger and a beer from one of the craft beer spots in Comox (land and sea, Church St Tap House or Gladstones) $25

A large pizza from the famous Riders Pizza in Cumberland $30

Accommodation

Crowne Isle Golf Resort 

Accommodation is set at the beautiful Crowne Isle Golf Resort, offering a spacious and comfortable setup ideal for unwinding after a big day on the mountain. Each unit sleeps up to four guests and combines hotel-style comfort with the convenience of a fully equipped suite.

The King Suite features a private bedroom with a king bed, a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi, and a separate living area with a queen sofa bed, fireplace, lounge chairs, and a flat-screen TV. The open-plan kitchen and dining area includes a glass-top stove, bar fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and all the dishes and utensils you’ll need. Step outside onto your private balcony or patio and take in the stunning views of the golf course.

Adjoining the King Suite is the Double Queen Room, which includes two queen beds, a flat-screen TV, a bistro table for two, and a kitchenette with a microwave, bar fridge, and sink. It also has its own full bathroom with a shower-tub combo, plus another balcony or patio overlooking the fairways.

This is a top-notch setup - comfortable, well-equipped, and the perfect place to relax and recharge.

For transport Mt Washington staff buses currently do a pick up and drop off from Crown Isle Resort which works really well for our programs. This can be used on trainings and days off. However, on days off we give priority to the staff that are working. There are also other pick up and drop off locations through town.
