Castle Mountain is for those who love their skiing with a side of adventure. It's a bit more off the beaten path, but totally worth the trip. The slopes here are varied, offering a good challenge for more experienced skiers. The powder is often excellent, and the views are stunning. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the people are super chill. The lodge has a rustic feel, great for unwinding after a day in the snow. It's the kind of place where you can escape the crowds and just enjoy the mountain.

Honestly some of the best powder I have ever snowboarded in my life! The lift lines are short, efficient and get me exactly where I want to go. I highly recommend this mountain if you want an intimate powder experience over any big resort, 11/10.

Castle is a great resort hidden away from larger crowds. Plenty of steep, black/double-black terrain (almost 70% of all runs), but the green/blue runs are great to learn on. When there's powder, it gets busy and the lift lines can be long, but it's always worth the trip out.

If you want to go back in time, go to Caste Mt. This is the true 80's ski experience ... but with high speed chairs.
If you love packed powder - go to Castle Mt. They juts keep getting refreshed and it's not really busy.
