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.

Castle Mountain has some of the best skiing in westwen Canada. If you are looking for a fancy resort with all the latest technology, it's not the place to go but for die hard riders, you may never want to go anywhere else.

Absolutely one of the nicer, most hospitable resorts in North America. It's like going back in time ... before Vail turned the ski industry into a Wall Street casino .Not much around the area on terms of commercial resort, but the skiing is excellent and you can safely leave your kit bag in the cafeteria all day and never worry about it.We rented a condo in Fernie and skied Fernie, Castle, and Kimberly all week. Suv rental out of Calgary is 50% vs salt lake for the same Ford expedition from the same rental company. You'll love skiing this whole area and have enough money left over for a second ski trip that year.

Terrain up Red chair and snow quality is excellent. Especially for advanced or plus. There are a couple blue groomers, which are excellent. Long traverses on cat tracks required. Can be extremely windy. Chutes are great!Huckleberry berry section is excellent for beginner to upper intermediate.The middle of the mountain is excellent if the snow is good and amazing tree skiing. Not a lot of groomers here. If snow is bad The mountain gets small quite fast , most people stick to Huckleberry or go up red if they are able.

Castle Mountain is a brilliant place to explore all levels of skiing. The mountain has a wide variety of terrain, from beginner runs and groomers, as well as the longest continuous chutes in Alberta. Steep and Deep!

Steep and challenging mountain, mostly blue and black diamond runs. Chairlifts are a bit dated, pretty slow, but not too busy of a hill, I didn't have any waits at any lifts.

A hidden gem off the beaten path that gets great snow and has a small family friendly hill feel. Its lift tickets are very reasonable compared to the more popular hills around it, and it has skill levels for all.

Great family hill. We went a few times with my kids race team for events and stayed at the hotel. Hill was well run, staff was friendly, snow was always great. Fall line is great. Terrain is varied for all levels of skiers. I highly recommend Castle for a quiet getaway if you are looking for a ski trip away from the hustle and bustle of larger resorts

Castle mountain is getting a new chair left from sunshine which is super exciting for the hill. It will be great for beginners and intermediate skiers. They have great private lessons if you like to have one on one with the instructor.

Castle Mountain is one of the best places in Canada to ski. Known for its moguls and swift slopes, it can give any level of rider that adrenaline rush. It is known the chair routes aren't the fastest, but the breathtaking scenery makes it all worth it.

Absolute best resort to go to to beat the crowds. So much tree skiing and options to find pockets of powder and pockets of serenity. Especially as most of the resort is without reception. Feels like a journey back in time. The slower chairlifts are worth it for the untracked terrain in the resort!!!
