Spanning two mountain peaks and home to a multitude of different types of trails, Sasquatch Mountain Resort offers skiers and riders terrain for all ability types. The resort is located deep in British Columbia’s coastal mountains and receives a good amount of average snowfall each year.

The terrain is set up so that beginners and advanced skiers and riders are able to share the same chairlift but access a variety of terrain suitable for varying ability types. The trails at Hemlock are wide open and provide little protection from strong winds and snowstorms.

The average annual snowfall is 30-35 feet with a vertical drop of 396 m (1,300 ft) from summit to base and the longest run being 1.4 miles (2.3 km). Boasting terrain for all levels of skiers and riders including steeps and cliffs, big powder and big air, Hemlock even has a terrain park for those who want to practice their rail slides or jump across a tabletop.

Reviews

Sasquatch (formerly Hemlock) is a nice little mountain. Every week they have deals where you can ski for only $20. The lodge is small but has a big cafeteria where you are allowed to bring your own food. The lounge/bar is nice with big windows and a fireplace, and kids are welcome until 8pm in the lounge. The Mountain is not very big, but has a lot of ungroomed terrain with sparse trees, so on powder days it's great. Half the hill is black diamond terrain, the rest is a mix of greens and blues, so if you like steep runs in the trees, it's a good option. It is a small hill, so each run is short, but the lines are short so you can still get a lot of runs in each day. The only downside is the old infrastructure, so sometimes one chair won't be running, or the bathrooms etc look a bit dated. Also the road up the hill is terrible. But that should all hopefully be improving as a large investor is pumping money into the resort over the next few years.
