About
half of the Mt Washington trails wind through Strathcona
Provincial Park passing through Paradise Meadows and
around Lake Helen Mackenzie and Battleship Lake. The
trails are maintained under a Park Use Permit and a
portion of the trail fees generated go to support BC
Parks programs and facilities in the area. In addition
to the groomed trails, the Park offers exceptional backcountry
skiing and wilderness opportunities.
The 2001-2002 season saw the opening of Mt Washingtons
beautiful 10,000 sq.ft Nordic Raven Lodge.
The lodge forms the new base of Nordic operations and
includes a restaurant, video screens, retail Nordic
ski outlet, Nordic ski rentals, lockers, showers and
sauna, outdoor waxing facilities, snowshoe rentals and
