Hudson Bay Mountain

Hudson Bay Mountain rises prominently above Smithers, British Columbia, and has long been one of the area’s defining natural landmarks. Its name comes from a nearby Driftwood Creek ranch once owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company, preserving a link to the region’s fur-trade past even though no formal settlement developed on the mountain itself. Today it is best known for Hudson Bay Mountain Resort, formerly Ski Smithers, whose slopes include the Rotary Community Trail to Town, an eight-kilometre run descending into Smithers. The mountain has also served as a filming location for The Grey and Eight Below, combining local history, recreation, and a strong visual presence.
