Hemlock Resort
is a quaint alpine community and family winter recreation resort
high above Harrison Lake in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia.
Outdoor activities include downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country
skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing and a tube park.
Hemlock Valley is one of the best kept secrets in the British
Columbian lower mainland, and consistently has one of the best
snowfalls in South Western B.C. Due its low elevation and close
proximity to the ocean, the depth of the snowpack at Hemlock
Resort depends on a pattern of sustained cold weather.
Please note that all vehicles travelling here in the winter
are required to carry tire cables or chains as the road to Hemlock
Resort is a mountain road and conditions can change quickly
and dramatically. Carrying a shovel is a wise precaution as
well. Drive safely and with caution, and bear in mind that a
sunny morning can turn into a full-blown winter storm by the
end of the day.
Hemlock Resort ski area is located 8.5 miles (14 km) north of
Highway 7 from Harrison Bay, 60 miles (100 km) east of Vancouver
(2 hours). From Vancouver, take the Trans-Canada Highway 1 east
to Agassiz (Harrison Hot Springs exit) and follow Highway 9
through Agassiz to the Lougheed Highway 7. Continue west to
Morris Valley Road, turn north and follow the signs to Hemlock
Resort. |
