Sasquatch Mountain Resort is tucked into the Douglas Mountain Range, which is part of the Coast Mountain Range of British Columbia, Canada. In the mid-1950’s, long before winter recreation was popular in the area, logging was the reason most people came to this scenic location.
In the mid-sixties, a group looking to create a resort community noticed that the area would be a perfect place for a ski facility. As a result of their vision, Hemlock Valley Recreation opened to the public on December 21, 1969, with a single rope-tow, several trails, and an old converted bus that acted as a day lodge.
Sasquatch Mountain Resort is nestled in a horseshoe-shaped valley with slopes on two mountain peaks. It has grown into a quaint resort community that features many different types of lodging including cabins, condos, homes, and hotel rooms.
The road to Sasquatch Mountain Resort can be a bit of a test with lots of switch-backs until you reach the entrance to the beautiful valley so take your time and enjoy the scenery.
Sasquatch Mountain Resort has faced many challenges throughout its history. However, it has never lost the local, family-friendly experience that all members of the family will enjoy. Despite the remoteness of the ski resort, it attracts skiers and snowboarders from the local area of the Fraser Valley and even destination skiers and snowboarders.
Sasquatch Mountain Resort provides a great place to spend quality, family-time with nature all around you. Change is always part of life, and Hemlock Ski Resort is no different. On Mar 1, 2017, Hemlock Ski Resort as it has been known for decades, changed its name to Sasquatch Mountain Resort and so begins a new era of resort experiences.
