Mount Washington Alpine Resort boasts one of the most incredible and scenic alpine settings in North America; you’ve got to see it to believe it!

On several occasions  Mount Washington has boasted the highest base of any Ski resort in North America.

The folks at Smith Transportation provide return trips to the best skiing on Vancouver Island every day of the ski season, giving you a comfortable and safe alternative for getting on the slopes. No need to bother with chains or road conditions. Instead you can sit back and rest up in preparation for your active day ahead and enjoy the incredible views.

The Smith Transportation Ski Bus picks up in over 9 locations on Vancouver Island and 4 locations in Victoria BC, one of which is just a couple of blocks from the Accent Inn and just up the street from the Blue Ridge Inn.  They are the only ski bus shuttle on Vancouver Island that runs to Mount Washington on a daily basis.

They operate on a reservation system that guarantees you a seat on the bus. Simply reserve your seat online, by phone or by email before 9 pm the night prior to departure, and they’ll guarantee you’ll have a seat on the ski bus.
