It's a pity. I'd love to give Kirkwood a 5 star review for the skiing. I really would. But I can't. Firstly, it's expensive. Like, very expensive. >$100 for a lift pass. And >$80 for ski hire? You'd expect they might have decent lifts for the price, but nope, the majority are miserably antiquated and slothful. Want a nice European-esque gondola to the top? Sorry buddy. Want to skip the lift pass queue by pre-paying the day before? Sorry buddy. You've got to stand in line for 45 minutes. Terrain, snow and staff on the hill were all great, but sorry fellas, that's just not enough.
