 Phoenix
Mountain is a community ski hill in the Phoenix Interpretive
Forest of the South Okanagan of British Columbia, run by the
Phoenix Alpine Ski Society.
Phoenix Mountain is a regular destination for local ski and
board enthusiasts alike during its winter months. Phoenix provides
terrain for all skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced.
Our unique community atmosphere is always welcoming and inviting
so come on up for a weekend and experience "the best little
mountain in BC"!
Phoenix Mountain is located north of the British Columbia/Washington
border between the southern Okanagan towns of Greenwood (7 miles/11
km to the east) and Grand Forks, 19 miles/30 km to the west.
From Vancouver, take Highway 3 east through Princeton and Osoyoos.
Turn east on Phoenix Road just before Greenwood and follow the
road to the Ski Hill. |
