Harper Mountain

The mountain

1,400 vertical feet, over 400 acres

Those are the two terrain figures Harper Mountain publishes, and they are the two that matter. Twenty minutes from Kamloops, with skiing and tubing on the same hill.

The size of it

Big enough for a day, close enough for an evening

Fourteen hundred feet of vertical and more than four hundred acres, twenty minutes outside Kamloops. That combination is the argument: enough mountain to be worth the drive, and a drive short enough that it does not have to be a whole weekend.

Harper Mountain does not publish a run count or a lift count, so this concept states neither. Where a hill has not said something, the honest move is to leave the space open rather than fill it.

Where the run list belongs

This is the shape a terrain page takes. The three panels below are deliberately empty of specifics: Harper publishes its acreage and its vertical, but not a run inventory, and this concept does not invent one.

  • Green

    Where a family starts. Harper publishes acreage and vertical but no run-by-run breakdown, so this concept names no runs — on a real build every green run would be listed here by name.

  • Blue

    The middle of the mountain, and where most of a season pass gets used. Same rule: the hill would fill this list, not us.

  • Black

    The steeper end of 1,400 feet. A run list with difficulty markers is the single piece of content most likely to be searched for and least likely to change year to year.

Tubing

Not everyone in the car has to ski

Harper runs skiing and tubing. For a family that is the whole difference between a day out and a negotiation — the kid who is not sold on skiing still has somewhere to be, and everyone is home for dinner.

Tubing hours and rates are not published on the current site, so none appear here. On a real build they would sit on this page and change with the season, next to the ski information rather than buried under it.

Trail map

The map lives here in the real build

Harper's own trail map would sit on this page as a zoomable, downloadable image that works on a phone in a lift line — and it is the natural home for the run names this concept deliberately leaves blank. We have left it out because the artwork belongs to the hill.
