Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society  response to COVID-19 

We hope that you and your family are safe, in good health and not too negatively impacted by the circumstances around the COVID-19 responses. As with many local nonprofits, it’s certainly been a challenging time here at the Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society, including the partial closure of our Mountain Centre. Daily and short term rentals and prgrams have been cancelled. At this time, we are only booking groups on two weeks or longer bookings

We understand the financial pressures that families are facing, however we at this point can only reschedule your group and will revisit that decision when we are back open.

During this rapidly evolving situation, we remain committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our staff, volunteers, members, participants and families. This work includes continuous communication with local health authorities, monitoring of updates from provincial and national governments, coordination with our municipal partners across the region, discussions with our peers across the country, and conversations with our dedicated staff team.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any email questions, but as the centre is closed – responses will be delayed, thank you for understanding.

Please note due the current circumstances we are answering phone inquiries on bi weekly basis, at this time.

Vancouver Island Mountain Centre, Mount Washington is located next to Raven Lodge and Paradise Meadows trailhead in Strathcona Park and just a short 30 minute drive from the Comox Valley or 2.5 hours from Victoria.

Shoulder Season Hours:
While lifts are closed at Mount Washington, there will be no regular office hours at the Centre though we are often here or out and about. For the off-season, call in advance for drop-in gym times or purchase a pass so you can have coded entry into the building for your workout when we are not manning the desk. When lifts start turning for the Mountain Bike or Ski Seasons, we again resume our standard seasonal hours of operation.
For urgent requests outside of these hours please contact our main business line, 250-331-9355.
