Incredible lodging and apres-ski experience. Hill is relatively quiet most days but has a decent amount to offer and a decent backside. Good variation between beginner and advanced terrain, however double blacks and above are limited and there is less technical terrain to be offered. Some great lodges on the hill to stop in for a bite to eat or get a drink.

Great for family skiing and you get kids nice and quite very nicely maintained piste. Food and hotels very nice Its major draw back is the transfers time from the airport

Panorama Resort is the pinnacle of snow sports, from some of the best groomed slopes in the world to the best backcountry snow you can get Panorama has it all.

Exposed and can get very cold - pretty scary trip on that road up - but overall great place to ride. Made new friends and enjoyed a very warm and convivial atmosphere. Not that far from town either.

Panorama may not get record amounts of snow, but its back bowl and hidden runs have some great Freeride and powder pockets. What Panorama really has going for itself is amazing on hill eating, extremely top notch groomers, and world class views. Mount Nelson is one of those views that continues to blow me away every time is ski there, as it towers over every part of the resort. Some slack country is available off the back bowl. The back bowl also features the monster pass which gives you powder cat shuttles to the back bowl which is great if you are lazy and want fresh tracks but sucks to whatch zoom buy when you are fit and broke and hate watching Jerrys poach your pow. If you happen to be in the area, hit up Pano and the insane ski mountaineering and touring surrounding it.

Panorama is really nice for its amazing competition leval groomed runs, a good sized off piste bowl and enough to really keep you busy for a good week ski holiday. Its also classed as a hidden gem with the resort being of a very quiet nature especially compared to its size.

I went on a ski trip to Banff in January 2024. I skied with my best friend and his family for a week then I stayed and skied by myself for a week. I skied Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Panorama BC. All three resorts were amazing, but Panorama stood out for me as I am an east coast skier who likes wide never ending groomed runs to ski with my race skis. I was astonished by how much terrain and length of vertical Panorama had compared to Lake Louise and Sunshine Village (at least another thousand vertical feet, just over 4,000 vertical feet). I was also was amazed by how many incredible groomed runs there were in addition to the length of vertical that can be skied in one go. I also loved how there were many small lodges on the hill instead of one large one at the bottom. The drive from Invermere BC through a canyon to the resort was absolutely incredible. I was only planning to ski Panorama for one day because it was two hours from Banff, but I ended up doing it four days in a row and did not regret a single minute spent there. Ironically enough I came across 2 couples on the Lake Louise gondola that said Panorama was a hidden gem. Crazy coincidence that was mentioned verbatim twice by different people. It would be number one on my list to spend the most time at when I come back skiing there which is January 2025. The views from the top of the mountain at a small hut and chairlift of the valley are also incredible. Unlike Sunshine Village and Lake Louise, where the mountains are farther away in the distance across the valley at Panorama you can literally see the next mountain range right in your face. Every selfie or photo I took looked like it was fake because the scenery was so incredible. The drive across the Kooteney Highway from Banff for two hours was the most unbelievable views of mountains and valleys Ive ever seen on a ski trip. The only thing more disappointing was having to come home after 2 weeks of skiing. I literally couldve skied there every day for weeks if I had the opportunity. Fortunately, I managed to log in 150,000 vertical feet into weeks skied the most Ive ever done. If if Im being transparent and honest, its probably the best two weeks ski trip Ive ever been on in my life and Ive been on many other ski trips. The scenery in and around Banff, including panorama or as good as anything Ive ever seen. I would 100% tell anyone who wants an amazing ski trip to stay in Banff spend a lot of time at Panorama (most days to ski there) certainly go to the other resorts like Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and other resorts further from Banff but if you love skiing/snowboarding lots of vertical feet, choice of many groomed runs, incredible scenery, small crowds, great quaint small lodges on piste and an amazing 2 hour drive through incredible scenery from Banff to Panorama it is the place to go.

Panorama is a great hill for all abilities. It has a reduced priced beginner /kids area including a quad chair. As well as offers everything from nice long green groomers to challenging double blacks. Panorama is an exceptional hill only 3 hours from Calgary.

My family and I visit Panorama yearly, and have for the past 40 years. When we started, it was a portable shelter and a T-bar. It has come a long way since then, and has only gotten better with age. The best man made snow and grooming for those who like or need that, as well as a bunch of more advanced runs and some truly amazing double black terrain in the monster bowl. This hill has it all, amazing ski school, amazing culture, amazing terrain. Highly recommend.

Amazing family friendly resort with tonnes of lodging options ski in/out. Variety of dining, helicopter skiing and hot pools! Budget ski in/out is awesome! Crazy good terrain that really lasts in tayton bowl (hike in) while most riders are on the endless groomers. Three lifts to the summit where there's an awesome hut with short order food items, baked goods,fondue,coffee and adult beverages. Plus! 2 mid mountain huts. Dope underestimated place, just a bit outta the way.
