This camera is pointed at Mount Washington, the alpine resort on central Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It is a useful window for anyone checking snow, cloud and visibility on the mountain before heading up or planning a trip to the island.
About the mountain
Mount Washington sits in the Strathcona area of Vancouver Island, a range of rugged peaks, old-growth forest and alpine lakes. It is best known as a winter destination with skiing and snowboarding, and in summer it is used for hiking and mountain biking. The island's west coast is only a short drive away, so weather can change quickly as clouds roll in from the Pacific.
What to watch on the camera
The live view shows the mountain as it is at the moment, so it is most useful for judging snow cover, cloud base and whether the summit is visible. Conditions are often most interesting on clear winter mornings after fresh snowfall, and in late afternoon when light is low and shadows define the ridgelines. Depending on the view, you may also see fog settling in the valleys during the shoulder seasons.
Planning a visit
Winters are wet and mild at sea level but bring heavy snow to the higher slopes, which is why the resort is busiest from December to March. Summer is drier and warmer and suits hiking and sightseeing. Nearby places worth checking alongside this view include the Comox Valley cameras, where you can compare conditions on the coast with those in the mountains.
