The Comox Valley's Mount Washington enjoys the closest conditions to Whistler's Callaghan Valley than anywhere else in British Columbia. With similar elevation, snow conditions and temperatures, Olympic and Paralympic athletes can have the finest training conditions in preparation for 2010 and beyond.

With Mount Washington's incredible Nordic trails and Alpine runs, two terrain parks, combined with the Comox Valley's aquatic and sport centres, the area offers unprecedented infrastructure for teams looking for a hassel free, quiet training environment.

With a stunning Nordic Lodge with 55 km of nordic trails, to 60 alpine runs, Mount Washington has what it takes to provide athletes with the best training and accomodation infrastructure available.

The Canadian National Biathlon and Cross Country Teams have made Mount Washington their official training site for years. Pacific Coast and other ski teams from across Canada including the National Disabled Ski Team, National Nordic Combined team, National Training Centre Teams, and private clubs have used the site for spring training.
