Nakiska is a great place to ski for a number of reasons as long as it matches what you are looking for. If you are looking for powder to ski through, drive a little further. If you are looking for tree runs you'll only find them off the top of the gold chair. If you are looking for a hill with short lines at the lifts, Nakiska on a weekend afternoon is not a good place to be. However if you are looking for affordable lessons with great instructors Nakiska is a great option, if you are looking for some mountain runs that are an hour out of Calgary Nakiska is perfect. Short lines in the AM gets you fresh groomed runs before the snow gets shaved down to the ice that is here if it hasn't gotten a dump for a while. We pack lunches as it should be no surprise it can get expensive to purchase on the hill, though the bagged taco salad mid-mountain rocks.
