Mt Seymour can barely handle a heavier than average day, so this is going to be a testing year for all of us. Mt Baker here we come! Just not sure that the 3+ hour wait at the border during the Olympics is even going to be worth it.

@Aidan, Seymour and Grouse will be under a lot more pressure than usual, but I believe both mountains are prepared for it. There has been research done, looking into the volume that local ski resorts receive during the Olympics in host cities. For the most part, ski visitors drop off during the actual two weeks of the Olympics as most people are participating in events and festivities that the Olympics offer.

It is the weeks pre and post Olympics that we expect to see our largest volumes. The concern for Seymour is that it will be the only “free” way to drive up, see the snow and have a great view of the city. This means we expect large volumes of traffic; however does not necessarily mean long lift line up’s!
