Challenges continue to pile up for Mount Washington because of a lack of snow this season. 

In a social media post, Mount Washington Ski Club said it will not host the High School Provincials or the Teck U14 Provincial Championships this year because of challenges with the snowpack on the mountain. 

“We’d like to recognize the heroic efforts of Mount Washington Alpine Resort in supporting our bid to host and who have been able to keep us on snow and provide opportunities for training throughout this challenging period,” said the club in the post. 

The ski club added it is hopeful it will have another opportunity to host the events in the future to showcase the mountain community. 

BC Alpine said the Teck U14 Provincial Championships will instead take place at Apex Mountain Resort from March 20 to 22.
