Hemlock Resort, British Columbia
Tucked away high above Harrison Lake, Hemlock Resort is a quaint alpine community comprised of log cabins, town houses, condominiums and a daylodge.
Hemlock is an intermediate mountain -- 60 percent of the 34 trails are rated intermediate, with the balance divided equally between beginner and expert -- covering 250 acres of skiable terrain. Three chairlifts and a handle tow quickly take skiers and snowboarders to nicely groomed runs and open bowls.
Nordic skiers are not forgotten at Hemlock. Cross-country trails have been improved and the facilities expanded recently. Hemlock allows cross country skiers, however the ski areas does not groom our runs.
Hemlock bills itself as a family resort. Accommodations are available on the mountain or in nearby Agassiz.
Hemlock is only 100 km (60 miles) from Vancouver. Take Highway #1 to Agassiz (Harrison Hot Springs exit) and follow Highway #9 through Agassiz to the Lougheed Highway #7. Proceed west to the Morris Valley Road, turn right and follow the signs.
