Most people only know Mount Washington as Vancouver Island's only Ski Resort.

But we do have a second one! Much more remote and with much less services and amenities, Mount Cain Alpine Park is a hidden gem offering some of the best powder on the island.

Mount Cain is operated by the not-for-profit organization Mount Cain Alpine Park Society (MCAPS). Everyone skiing at Mt Cain is required to be a member of MCAPS.
