The ski season may look a little different, but Mt Seymour is committed to ensuring the utmost safety and enjoyment for all skiers and snowboarders on the mountain with their COVID-19 winter protocols. Before you head up to the mountain, check out Mt Seymour’s ‘What’s New & How To’ video.
All guests are required to pre-purchase ski and snowboard area day passes, weekend and holiday reservations, and rentals prior to their visit to Mt Seymour. Pre-booking time slots in advance will allow for the spacing out of visits by season pass holders and lift ticket purchasers on the hill and on the chair lifts to avoid reaching peak hour capacities.
In fact, the best time to come up to Mt Seymour is during the week — whether during the day or after office hours and school hours — for night skiing at a less busy time on the mountain.
With such close access to ski resorts at our doorstep, there's never been a better time to try skiing. So gather up your family or your small bubble to head up to Mt Seymour to learn how to ride… locally!
