I haven't been there, but its on my list. I know people who have been, but
not recently.
Its a couple of hours drive north of Prince George, a city of about 90,000.
After you leave PG there are a few small communities along the way, but
heavy on the small.

I am told:

It snows a lot.
There is a lift
It snows a lot
There is primitive accommodation for a couple dozen people near the base.
It snows a lot
Its not big, but what terrain there is is not bad.
Apparently, it snows a lot.

If I went, it would be late Jan or after. Its latitude is not much south of
the Alaska panhandle.

PowderKing has a hostel on the hill. It is primitive but PK is all about
the snow. Bring your sleeping bag and you get a room for about $20 a
night. There is a restaurant on the hill (do not expect
vegan/sushi/exotic) that is good and cheap. The highway 97 to PK is
modern, not too busy, and well plowed and sanded. It is about 10 hours
north of Vancouver, and about 2 hours north of Prince George, the biggest
city in the area. It is smack in the middle of BC by a town called
Mackenzie. It starts to get dark at 4pm in January, is not in the middle
of West Bum**** Canada, and is easily the best small hill in North
America.

I can't resist--Bum****???
