Mount Cain is a mountain on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, located 20 km (12 mi) east of Woss and 2 km north of Mount Abel it is home to a local ski hill operated by Mount Cain Alpine Park Society.


Mount Cain is run mostly by very dedicated volunteers. Most of these volunteers work in the forest industry on North Vancouver Island. "Cain", it is called for short, is known mostly for its wicked back-country. The hill itself has only two t-bars and a rope tow.
