Mt Pakenham - Community Reviews & Ratings

My Pakenham is perfect mountain for all levels. Great snow making. Great maintenance for skis. Rentals for all levels of equipment. Great kitchen and food and drinks.great staff. Lots of parking..

This is a really good small town ski hill that is good to learn both skiing and snowboarding. It has really good forest trails, the only downside is that it is a small hill but it is good to have fun.

Ive been working at this hill for 7 years now (4 years teaching skiing and 3 years lift ops/mountain ops) and I think Mt Pakenham is amazing for the environment its in, the people who work there, the people who ski there, and the location geographically because theres little to no other options within an hour of where I live. The mountain is technically more of a hill with only around 280 meters of elevation but it allows you to do so many more laps in a day so you dont have to worry about missing out on something. Let alone if you stick around you get to know so many people that are there all the time which is something that youd never get at a bigger Mountain like Tremblant for example.

Mount pakenham is a great family friendly hill with great accommodations to have a good day on the hill with an awesome bar and cafeteria with all the food you could want including breakfast lunch and dinner.The hill is not a huge but is good for some fun with the family.They have a magic carpet and handle tow for the beginners and also have a rope tow got a little more experienced beginners.There is 2 very efficient chairlifts at pakenham with a total of 8 runs and 5 named trail runs.Pakenham also includes a great snow school program with amazing teachers who are very experienced and very kind to everyone and this hill is overall a great place

Mount Pakenham Ski Resort is a great place for anyone looking to get into skiing. With a very beginner hill all of the runs are easy and with a great snow school is the perfect place to learn how to ski, or for a family ski trip for those of all level ages and abilities. For the intermediate to advanced skiers the hill does offer a variety of more advanced, fun and challenging bush runs to keep the hill fun.

Pakenhan is pretty quiet mid-week on night runs. perfect for beginners. main issue is beginning of the season is pretty weak and muddy.
