The Skiers' Guide to Panorama Mountain

Really great hill, absolutely love it everytime I go. Never ceases to amaze me and the beauty out there is phenomenal. No better way to spend a day then Pano.

Take a mountain tour with the Mountain friends! They are excellent skiers and will show you all the terrain- we asked for trees and bumps, and they provided! They (Peter and Gerald) were bummed they couldn’t show us double black runs, but happily took us down nice terrain and pointed out terrain for us to head to. Snow was nice and light. Visibility was tough at times throughout the time we skied there (3 days), but skiing in trees solved that problem. Really enjoyed skiing here! Will be back!

We came with a couple families and rented out a lodge.
Had an excellent time. Wish the night riding would be open longer
But after a day of riding, we would have our own food or go out for dinner. Then hit the hot tubs or a couple more gos on the slopes.
Awesome time

Great experience from the drive in till the exit! I would highly suggest this hill to friends. My new favorite hill. Ski all day and soak in hot pools at night.

We expected better snow for late January, but it felt more like late December/very early season conditions. That being said, the groomers were not as icy as they can get, and the Taynton Bowl had great conditions in the top half. The lifts all ran smoothly right up until the very end, where we unexpectedly ended up on the platter lift minutes before end of day and they stopped it while we were only halfway up. Not sure what happened but we were waiting for a while before they turned it back on for us to get to the top. Overall it was a good experience.

Lived here for 8 years, some of the best POW stashes in the area if you know where to look. Less traffic = more fun for the locals and the lucky few who venture past Banff, kicking horse and fernie to find this gem in the Purcells.

Grew up at the hill, as we had accommodation (ski in/out). Amazing value and for international visitors there are so many amazing areas around to visit (fairmount, radium, golden not to far). Powder days are unbelievable.

Great mountain with endless skiing and non existent crowds. Although laps are gurgle and long, don’t be surprised for a lap to take over an hour.

Panorama is a hidden gem tucked away in the Canadian Rockies. Excellent groomed runs, back bowls with an option of a cat ski lift or hike. Several terrain parks and rail gardens as well as three huts on hill to stop in for apres. Nearly every hotel/lodge situated in the village has a hot tub and access to the heated pool. A true ski in/ ski out destination loaded with charm, excellent views, and terrain for all ability levels.

Went over new years, was quite busy with ski school and beginners. Summit and summit chair was absolutely gorgeous! There’s a blue catski run that even beginners(ish) can enjoy the scenery, more advanced riders can take blacks and double blacks and meet up with friends on the cat ski too. Definitely have a beer up at the top of the mountain and enjoy the sun, brews, and views!

Lots of runs for all kinds of rider abilities. If you’re willing to hike there are some amazing runs off of the summit chair!

Panoorama offers some of the best true ski in ski out in Canada. there is a wide variety of runs for all skill levels. THere is a lot of room for all skiers and gernerally short lift lines (main lift can be backed up on local holidays and weekends). The hot tubs are a favorite of the kids after a day on the hill and restaurants offer great food at resort prices.

Can’t give full review as only a few runs open and poor icy conditions but staff were friendly and it’s a beautiful resort. Would love to check it out during better conditions.

What a hidden gem! Under 2hrs from Cranbrook BC or 4hrs from Calgary AB. Reasonable accomodation prices and good lift ticket pricing. Skiing for all levels and amazing views as surrounded by Rockies! Will be back!

Great expert terrain. Lots of double blacks and a great secluded bowl. Power can be found in that bowl everywhere.

Visited Panorama with my 12yr son for 4 days of skiing and we had a blast. I’m not huge on the terrain park be he had a blast. We skied the trees and it was great! Groomers you could just rip! We brought our lunch but grabbed some fries and a beer which were decent. The lineup for passes was a little chaotic and could have been better managed. We had recurring issues with the pass reader not picking up our passes but the attendants seemed to realize the side and opened the gates. Other than that….10/10

Panorama is a purpose built resort with a whole range of condos, townhouses and a hotel. The skiing is pretty good covering all abilities with an off piste back bowl for advanced skiing. Quite often you will find no-one else on your section of piste, there ais a good selection of groomed piste. Snow security is good and often ski teams from Canada and the USA come here to train when their local hills are suffering
Panorama is about 2 hours South of Banff. The resort runs a shuttle from Calgary airport but apart from that you have to hire a car. There is also a 20 min shuttle to/ from the nearest town of Invermere where there are two decent supermarkets and a couple of bars.
Although getting here is more expensive than going to Europe the exchange rates is favourable - a beer comes in at below £6 and look at the ski pass rates too!

This is my favorite spot, we have two little kids and it is just perfect for families, quiet, diverse terrain, lodging on the hill.

Went skiing with the family over March break and we had the most glorious day- so much fresh powder, full sun, lines that moved quickly, big tables to sit & enjoy lunch and a beer with the whole family (8 of us), easy to get to location. Overall a fantastic & very memorable day!

The views at this location were absolutely spectacular. It truly gave you a panoramic view of all of the mountains surrounding. The hills were groomed well, the powder was amazing, and the lifts were very efficient.
