Mikey After-Hours: Behind the Scenes from Close to Open
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes? Get an inside perspective with Mike after-hours.
Well, there are many (literal and figurative) moving parts! Mike is taking his hot laps series behind the scenes, this time for an after-hours special.
Regardless of the conditions, a lot goes on to safely navigate mountain operations, involving several departments of skilled and dedicated staff. Many of them work early mornings or even all night, burning the midnight oil before gearing up to head out and enjoy some fun on snow themselves. That passion is what we're all about!
Ride along with Mike as he narrates a rather stormy 19 hours with the Mount Washington team from close to open.

Parking Lot Etiquette:
Thanks for Cooperating!
Are you guilty of relocating a parking cone? Yikes! On busy days, we do our best to fit as many cars as possible into our seven parking lots, but we require your cooperation! Our parking team would like to remind you of a few important things.
- Cones indicate where parking is permitted; each cone marks the start of a row. You don't get to create your own new spots!
- Park smartly in double rows; don't block other vehicles in, and avoid taking up more space than necessary.
- Don't park on roads or in areas that block paths of travel; this is important to ensure quick access is possible for emergency response vehicles.
- Avoid entering areas designated for bus turnaround; these areas are left wide open for a reason and should never be used, even for temporary drop offs.
- Drop-off zones outside the lodges are for quick unloads only. Never park in an accessible spot unless you have a permit.

Now that the holidays are done and Mother Nature is on a break between delivering storm cycles, we're looking back at one of the mountain's busiest and snowiest holiday periods in the last while. We've already received over 530 cm of cumulative snowfall this season, welcoming a steep increase in visitation as folks from across Vancouver Island and beyond came to partake in the goods.
We've said it before, but it always rings true; with big snowfall comes big responsibility for our community. Our staff work tirelessly to manage the snow as it falls and to keep the metaphorical and literal wheels turning all around the resort. It is not without challenges, so kudos to the crew for all their hard work during the holidays! We truly appreciate everyone visiting for doing their part to follow safe practices, cooperate with our team, and respect your fellow adventurers. Your attention and understanding are invaluable, from your journey here to your time out exploring the slopes, so thank you. We're all in it together.
Can you believe it was only just one month ago that we opened early?! So much of the 2024/25 winter season still remains to be explored. Let's get after it, folks!
