Having researched the options and as a result of meeting Tourism Mount Washington at a media reception at Canada House in London last October, Mount Washington was Kwame's first choice for training. Currently the resort is boasting the deepest snowpack in Canada and as the chosen training destination for a significant number of Olympic contenders we are delighted that the resort and members of the local community have made it possible.

Kwame is looking forward to making his first tracks on Mount Washington and experiencing the unique Alpine to Surf location of BC's Island mountain as he completes his final training.

Mount Washington is home to one of the most spectacular coastal alpine settings in North America. With the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop on one side and scenic Strathcona Park bordering the other, we're a sought after media location. From travel writers to cinematographers, Mount Washington offers a pristine environment for shooting your next segment, or writing your next story.

In winter, Mount Washington receives a legendary 10.5 metres of annual snowfall. The resort is acknowledged as the home of Canada's deepest pile, however, it's not all about the snow! In summer, the mountain and surrounding resort community transforms itself into a major destination for mountain bikers, hikers, and summer alpine enthusiasts.
