Access

Take the Diamond Head turn off and follow it past the Squamish Country Club, and through an industrial area. A gravel road begins here and continues 14.5km to the Base Camp parking lot. This road is usually plowed in the winter.

Route

The ski route initially follows a road past the parking lot and then switches up onto Paul Ridge, over Round Mountain and then down to the chalet by Elfin Lakes. This route is generally well marked and maintained by the Parks Branch.
