Simplify your winter travel by skipping the stress of icy highways, snowy logging roads, and the challenge of reaching Mt. Cain without a 4x4. We all dream of fresh powder and mountain adventure, but getting there can be tough—long drives, unpredictable weather, and snow-covered backroads can make it a mission.
Let us handle the journey instead. Our yellow Mt. Cain ski buses offer convenient, hassle-free service from Greater Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Campbell River, Sayward, Woss, and the base of the mountain. We provide Friday departures and Monday returns between the South Island and Woss, plus daily return service on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays from Campbell River to Mt. Cain, with stops along the way.
