Bear Mountain

Getting here

Seven kilometres, and you are there

Bear Mountain is about seven kilometres from Dawson Creek — close enough that a weeknight under the lights is a normal thing to do, rather than a trip you plan around.

Hours

We have left the hours blank on purpose

Opening days and operating hours are the single most-looked-up thing on any ski hill's website. We could not verify Bear Mountain's from published material, and inventing them is how somebody ends up in a locked car park.

These five lines are the highest-value thing to add. Five short fields, filled in once at the start of the season and edited when a cold snap changes them. Everything else on this page matters less.

The slot, waiting

Not published. Call 250-782-4988 in season.

The drive

How far is it, really

From Dawson Creek
7 km

The distance the club itself gives. A short drive out past the edge of the city.

Street address

We could not confirm a street address or map pin from published material, so this concept does not print one.

Before you drive
Call

250-782-4988 in season. A Peace Country cold snap can close a hill with no notice at all.

What belongs here

A street address, a map pin and one line of road advice.

Three sentences the club could write in five minutes, and the difference between a visitor from Fort St John finding the hill and giving up in the dark.

The chalet

The warm building at the bottom, and you can book it

The chalet is where a day at Bear Mountain starts and ends — boots on, gloves on the rail, back down at four o'clock for the feeling coming back into your fingers.

It is also available to rent. The club takes chalet bookings through Charene on 250-219-6056 — worth knowing if you are looking for somewhere for a birthday in February.

  • The chalet
  • Ten named runs
  • Terrain park
  • Night skiing
  • Snowmaking
  • Volunteer-run

Food service, a bar, rentals and lockers may well exist here — none of it was something we could confirm, so none of it is claimed above.

Before you come up

  • Ring first

    Until the hours and conditions live on the website, the phone is the source of truth. 250-782-4988 in season.

  • Think about the evening

    The lights have been here since 1970–71. A hill seven kilometres out of town with lighting is a Tuesday-night hill, not just a Saturday one.

  • Dress for the Peace Country

    Big open sky, and the wind that comes with it. Bring more layers than you think you need, and something for your face.
