Getting There

Directions

From Terrace, travel west on Highway 16 toward Prince Rupert and follow the signed Shames Mountain access road. Continue to the main ski-area base and lodge. Sternwheeler is accessed from the ski-area lift and trail network rather than from a separate hiking trailhead. Shames Mountain is approximately 35 km west of Terrace.

Parking

Parking is available at the main Shames Mountain base area near the lodge. Use designated parking areas and follow any seasonal directions provided by ski-area staff.

Safety & Preparation

Although Sternwheeler is beginner terrain, winter conditions can change quickly with snow, ice, wind and reduced visibility. Stay on designated open runs, obey posted signs and closures, and maintain control around other skiers and snowboarders. Do not enter closed or unpatrolled areas. Uphill users must follow Shames Mountain's current uphill-access policy and use the designated routes and required passes.
