Mt Seymour Ski Resort Development Plan
“We’re excited about the future and sharing our 60-year master plan with you,” wrote Mt Seymour in their Ski Resort Development Plan. “Every project that is approved in the master plan is subject to further individual assessments and review processes when they are pursued… Working closely with BC Parks, we will strike an important balance between conservation and recreation.”
The plan covers a range of changes, notably adding more family-friendly ski terrain at higher elevations, an enhanced base area with expanded lodges, and upgraded rentals, guest services and dining options.
For the summer season, Mt Seymour is planning on adding:
- Extensive network of hiking trails
- Beginner Mountain Bike Zone
- Disc Golf
- Glamping
- 25 Cabins
- Aerial Adventure Park and Ziplines
- Via Ferrata
- De Pencier Skywalk
And for the winter, here are the changes:
- Surface lifts & Chairlifts: 4 → 14
- Ski Trails: 41 → 90
- Skiable Terrain (Hectares): 42 → 147
- Expanded Snowmaking
Specifically for the winter season, Mt Seymour will be splitting its growth into four phases. The first is planned to begin within the next five years.
Other changes include improving resort touring access and facility expansions, such as with the Mystery Peak Lodge restaurant, Peak Warming Hut, De Pencier Warming Hut, the Alpine Activity Centre, and the Ridge Chair Cabin. Parking stalls will also be increased from 820 to 1,347.
“We want to embrace new opportunities, and with a changing climate, we need to become a year-round resort that caters to the needs of the Lower Mainland.”
The Mt Seymour Ski Resort Development Plan is subject to public engagement between May 26 and June 26, 2026. If you’ve got any input, you’re welcome to send it through here.
