Getting Here
Drive or take the shuttle bus to get to Mt Seymour, Vancouver's family-owned and operated ski resort.
ARRIVING BY BUS
Keep cars off the road, gas money in your pocket, and the air a little cleaner...
Mt Seymour operates a regular return-journey shuttle bus service during the winter months (typically December-April) from Parkgate Community Centre in North Vancouver, and opposite the Rupert Skytrain Station in East Vancouver.
Mt Seymour Full, Value & Snowshoe Season Pass holders can use the shuttle bus for free.
ARRIVING BY CAR
WINTER
All vehicles accessing Mt Seymour between Oct 1 - Mar 31 must be equipped with winter tires in good condition, showing either the peaked mountain/snowflake symbol or M+S.
The road to Mt Seymour is a mountain highway plowed and sanded during winter. Be aware that weather and road surface conditions change quickly.
During extreme winter conditions, all-wheel-drive vehicles with the peaked mountain/snowflake symbol tires are required. These requirements are for your safety and other road users.
If your vehicle is not suitable and without appropriate tires for the conditions, Mt Seymour’s Traffic Attendants reserve the right to deny access. We recommend using our shuttle bus service.
Please note: We have had multiple instances of Uber drivers not accepting pickups from the Mt Seymour Ski Area. Please ensure you have a ride up and down the mountain.
Weekend & Holiday Parking (during Winter operation only)
