Mount Cain Ski Area is Vancouver Island North’s downhill riding destination. A local treasure for skiers and boarders, glitz-free riding at Mount Cain is all about the powder. This casual ski resort is virtually free of line-ups and crowds, and steeped in Vancouver Island’s best powder. Open weekends, select Mondays and holidays only, untouched powder accumulates all week long. The mountain operates as a community-run ski operation with a unique warm and welcoming culture thanks to the enthusiastic local volunteers and staff. Condition permitting Mount Cain operates from mid-December to early April.
Mount Cain is located about 75 km south of Port McNeill. Turn onto the access road, just south of Woss – Schoen Lake Provincial Park shares the same turn-off. Follow the 16 km gravel road to the ski area.
