The BC Mountaineering Club recorded the first climb of Mount Seymour in 1908. The Mount Seymour Provincial Park was established with a total of 677 acres in 1936. Mount Seymour Resorts Ltd. purchased the contract to operate the ski area; taking over management of 8700 acres of skiable terrain, a ski school and cafeteria operation in 1984. In the past 10 years facilities such as the rental shop, the Lodge, Brockton chairlifts, the snow tube park, and the in-ground halfpipe, have all been added to make Mount Seymour a complete winter wilderness mountain facility, just minutes from Vancouver.
