Apres.Ski9 is a spacious 4 bedroom slope-side townhouse,  with plenty of room for family and friends,  steps from the Hawk and Green chairlifts and a short ski to the Raven Nordic Lodge. Comfort and full amenities, including a gas fireplace and a relaxing sauna. Double garage plus 2 parking spots with great storage for your equipment. Our property offers everything you'll need for the perfect getaway. Just sit back and relax in our mountainside sanctuary.

This beautiful townhouse is on three floors. The garage level also has a handy mudroom, a full bathroom and a sauna. The main floor consists of a great room  which is spacious and full of light, with views to both the ski-hill and the surrounding mountains. The large sofa could easily sleep an extra person. There is a work space, half bathroom and a balcony with a BBQ. The bedrooms, main bathroom and laundry are on the 3rd floor. Three of the bedrooms have queen beds and one ensuite bathroom.  The fourth bedroom has a single and a double bed. Each bedroom is cozy and has its own source of heat.

Mount Washington is primarily a ski resort. Most of the village is pedestrian, with parking on the periphery or at the lodges. Our townhouse has the huge bonus of car access and parking, AND it is still ski-in, ski-out, minutes from the Hawk Express Chairlift! We are only a 10 minute walk to the alpine lodge with shopping and dining. 

SUMMER is great on the mountain with activities such as lift-accessed mountain biking and hiking, 2.3km zip tour, and lots more. There is year round hiking in Strathcona Park with over 250,000 hectares of hiking trails, lakes and mountains. This is a very family, community-oriented mountain - very casual and friendly.

We are located a 2 minute walk to the Hawk or Green chair
