The view alone is worth coming! 360 degree of unobstructed view of the Rockies and Columbia valley!
Snow here is much dryer than BC coastal mountains i.e. Whistler Blackcomb. You need to be an advanced to expert skier/snowboarder to truly enjoy the vast off piste terrains. 4 bowls in total, many skiable runs. The only downside is the limited number of lifts, essentially only one gondola and one chair for the upper mountain. Hopefully future expansion will improve this.
We stayed at the Mountaineer Lodge, which is just to the left of the Eagle s Express gondola. Standard 2 bedroom condo with fully equipped kichen, washer and dryer. The beds are comfortable, linens fresh. Wifi and Netflix are provided free of charge. Locker room for ski is located on the main floor, with boot and glove dryers, yay! Hot tub is 10 person maximum, but it was never too crowded during our stay. Really enjoyed the dry sauna and steam room too! Food at the Eagle s Eye restaurant is surprisingly delicious, take advantage of the amazing view that comes with it!
It s our 2nd time staying in this resort, highly recommend if you like to ski some fine powder and challenging slopes! Price for lodging is very affordable too.
