May we not resist the shaping.

Same mountain.
Same dates. Four different years.

Mount Washington planned to start spinning chairs this weekend, but as you probably know by now, lift operations are delayed because there just isn’t the snow yet - they’re still hoping for Mother Nature to show up before lifts start turning.

Events this weekend are on, but the mountain’s official skiing and boarding is postponed until there’s real coverage. 

Over at Mount Cain, opening weekend was officially postponed too because snow conditions haven’t hit what they need to safely run lifts and terrain. 

Snow-depth reporting tools like OnTheSnow show that snowpack levels across BC resorts right now are below typical, and currently BC resort snow depths are 63% of normal averages for the season - though that’s province-wide and not specific to a single mountain.

The District of Tofino is sharing an update from the Ministry of Transportation and Transit regarding a full closure of Highway 4 at Cameron Lake on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 9 AM to 3 PM.

The Ministry will undertake work to address shoulder and bank erosion in the westbound lane of Highway 4 near the new weather station along Cameron Lake. In preparation for this work, the Ministry requires this full closure to safely bring equipment to the site and establish an access point and work area off the roadway. This setup will allow the remaining work to proceed with minimal impact on the normal flow of traffic.

The Ministry encourages drivers to follow traffic control personnel and signage and to travel with caution to support safety for workers and the public.
