Chicopee Ski & Summer Resort Review

Super ski slopes
but the road to parking is terrible

Good for summer and winter activities, summer isn't advertised that much, but they have a great camp for kids , thy also offer bike and running trail passes in the summer . Much better value in the summer than winter

Great family fun! Great conditions tonight! Always better than TV or video..etc!

It's not bad if it's pretty slow. You get a lot of fast runs in. I'd say about 1.5 mins up, 20-30 seconds down if you're taking your time. The terrain park is pretty solid for the size of the hill.

Cute little tubing hill across from a strip mall. My friends and I are all University aged young adults and enjoyed ourselves there for about an hour and a half. Not much else to it, but it was fun!

Good place to learn how to ski or snowboard. The hills are not very long or very technical, so they're perfect for a beginner, but not very exciting for someone with experience. This is where I go to help teach people before going to someplace larger like blue mountain.

The tubing was super fun and safe. The nachos and poutine was really good and the large servings for a great price! We had 45 youth and they couldn't even eat all of the nachos provided.

Perfect for a family with young kids or group of teenagers.

Amazing staff and great place to learn to ski. Kitchener is very lucky to have a ski hill to get out and play on.

Small but mighty. Great team. Great family fun and great to boot around practice ski skills. This place should be a heritage site for Kitchener Waterloo.
I hope to see big money invest and make it even better for years to come!

Cheap deals for students on Wednesday night (5-9pm) $30. The run wasnt very long, but good for practicing switch and basic tricks!

My kids spent two hours tubing on Saturday night. They had a blast and my wife and I both feel it was worth every penny. The Lodge had a decent amount of seating and although it was packed, we find a place to sit. The deck outside was unbelievably slippery (not a good choice on the construction side there...) But watching the kids from the upper level was nice as we could see them almost the whole time.

Food prices are reasonable and the quality was decent.

We'll be back again for sure.

Good place for kids to learn and to enjoy winter. My daughter took ski lessons with Alex who did a great job!

5 years later still charging full price when only half the hill is open

Chicopee is a great place for learners! They have lots of varieties of hills from Bunny Hills to Black Diamonds. The staff normally are quite kind, but sometimes at the rental they just ask you to put on your boots if you think you can, then just leave. The food there is good, a bit overpriced but spectacular views! I love this hill and would recommend this to anyone.

Good skiing but expensive for a full access pass and not all hills being available. No senior rates. Parking lot in better shape than a number of years ago.

We took snowboarding lessons here, for a first time this was a perfect experience

Really nice place for skiing! Reasonable price, friendly staff, good environment!

I went there for skiing and snowboarding. Night runs are a bit expensive and the lifts may stop working sometimes. Still it's a great place for beginners within city limits.

Very limited runs. Would be better if they had a terrain park.

Left messages and multiple emails, no response to inquiries regarding birthday party bookings. I don't understand I want to use your services and book a party BUT NO ONE will get back to me????

Really appreciate the KFUN Kitchener Community night!

So much fun...during spring or during the winter...great!

Best friend got married here. The forest where the wedding was held is beautiful. We got some amazing shots of the wedding party.

Inside food was pretty decent and servers were fast with drinks.

Overall good experience.

For those who want a place to learn without needing to buy expensive equipment (Board+bindings, boots, helmet) they offer rentals (around 90$ +250$ deposit) make sure to bring a good jacket, snowpants, goggles, hat and mitts.

They held rugged mainiac event and was a great turn out. Fun place winter and summer.

Excellent staffs! Couldn t say anything negative about them. Everyone there is always helpful and friendly.

This is a good place to start if you want to learn how to ski. Enough slopes of different level and best of all, it is not super busy especially at night time from 6-9pm. Line up usually last couple mins. Which gives you a lot of runs to practice.

The only negative about this place is the parking lot. It is bumpy and muddy. It is fine when it is very cold when everything is frozen. However, when weather warms up, it s very muddy. It doesn t work well when you have kids. End result is one muddy car. Could not understand why they don t pave it. This is why I took one star off.

It's a decent place to ski the hills are always maintained very well, the food inside is absolutely terrible and over priced, would take the family there no doubt

Very good ski resort, went there for my 6th grade field trip quite a few years ago

Extremely fun time. Staff are friendly and work with a large amount of children while keeping respectful and fun.

Amazing place to learn to ski. Small/easy for advanced skiers but the lines move quickly. Fantastic staff! My kids (4 & 5 yr old) enjoyed their private lessons and made a lot of progress in a short time. We will go again next winter!

I started skiing at Chicopee about 40 years ago and have a lot if good memories there. I would recommend it for any beginner...but NOT for any intermediate or better skier. Considering they also recently closed 3 runs and a double chair....the lift ticket prices they now charge just isn't worth it anymore. The 3rd star is also just for nostalgia...btw.

Great Experience. Family of 6 with little to no skiing or snowboarding experience. Very helpful and friendly staff. By the end of the day we were all comfortable going up and down the hills. Very busy on family day weekend which goes to say we weren't the only ones having a great time. We will definitely be going back and spreading the word to our family and friends.

Always great customer service, seem to be overwhelmed this year and not quite as organized as years past with kids' lesson programs.

Awesome spot! It was so organized especially if your renting equipment. We had never been skiing before and it was a breeze to get everything you needed. The staff was so friendly and inviting they helped make the whole experience that much better. Would highly recommend!

Not many ski options in the area. Good for a couple of hours

Pretty good disc golf course, and reasonable winter rate for the course.

great tubing place! 5 slides and the people are great with helping you try going down different ways like spins and different formations

Went to have dinner and watch the grandsons lesson. Food great selection and very tasty. Very impressed with the staff, both on the hills instructing and in the dining areas

Great spot to spend a couple hours, staff is great but many visitors are just plain selfish and oblivious to common courtesy. Some lines/lanes going up, in queue would be a nice touch.

First time skiing, tried out discover Monday's... great value, knowledgeable instructors and fun runs for beginners!

for the area its in its a good place to learn and practice. They also have summer events threw out the seasons.there bike park is worth a look at if your into that

Great place to start kids skiing and snowboarding highly recommended

Great place to go tubing. Staff was very friendly. Clean facility.

Staff are nice and helpful, trails are well maintained

Small community Hill. Great for kids and first timers. Experienced skiers should seek adventure elsewhere.

(I chuckle at the Chicopee tube park reviews -- that's NOT this place.)

We've been members for a few years now, and it's a great little hill for those that live close by. It's not overly challenging, but it's a great place to start.

Yesterday we spent 9 hours there and the conditions were great. After all the rain that came down last weekend, the hill was in far better shape than expected. Kudos to the snow crew.

The chalet has always had great food. We've had some bad experiences at restaurants lately, but the chalet has always been excellent and consistent. The cafeteria food isn't as good, even though I assume it's coming out of the same kitchen. The downfall is the default tip of 22% during checkout. When did that horrible idea become the new norm?

On the flip side, don't stay at night when the racers show up. The arrogance and attitude from them is pathetic. Between cutting people off in line and cutting people off on the hill, it's just not worth it. I've noticed it from both young and old racers. I've met super friendly members who have apologized for the attitude of others, and I've met horrible racers. Unfortunately we probably won't renew our membership because of this.

My son decided to try out snowboarding at the Discover Lessons. He loved it. And, it is very affordable! Thanks Chicopee!

For what it is, I can t complain even a little bit. Great little hill, right in the city. Prices are decent especially the discovery packages that include rentals. They have good deals on March Break, as well. It s perfect for kids and beginners, nice range of easy terrain. The staff are very friendly and great with the kids.

We re not talking about world class skiing, but it s a lot of fun and only a few minutes from home.

Perfect place for kids to learn to ski - great lesson options

I discovered this place recently. Nice place away from the crowd and affordable to spend time and fun with family. Their sunset deal tickets are an awesome deal.

Perfect for learning to ski, the Tenderfoot slope is just right for beginners. The facilities are also quite good. The staff at the rental were very polite and helpful.

It's wonderful to have such great skiing facilities right in town. We will be coming here again.

Always a blast at Chicopee. Make sure you grab a bite to eat at the Silver Tip Restaurant!

Beautiful hills perfect for events such as mud runs.

We had a great day at Chicopee skiing and snowboarding went ona Wednesday dayso not busy at all! The staff are helpful, kind and fantastic with kids! Great time had by all!

The tubing place was nice enough, although a little overpriced if you ask me. $8 to hire helmets for kids? Come on. And it is not as if they need to charge that much since they are shut in the summer months since they are not. Still, the ride was fun, safe and well maintained with friendly staff on hand everywhere they were needed. Two hours is the minimum time you can rent a tube for, but that's about as long as you'd want anyway. Our kids (7,8,9) were pretty tired after 2 hours, even though there is a simple stand up tow that carries you part way back up the hill. It is good that you have to walk part of the way though I think. The lift kept stopping and starting which was a little frustrating, but whatever. All told, a good afternoon with the kids, but we don't need to ever go back.

Annual mudrun obstacle course. Food trucks and 5k mud run fun

Went for Student Night and it was wonderful! Aside from a great staff who were very welcoming and helpful the hills were well maintained. A little icey here and there but thats winter for ya. The wait for lifts wasn't ever too long, and the top of the hills were wide and easy to maneuver. It's great having such well maintained and accessible ski hills close by!

it is a really good place to go if you are a beginner or i know the little kids really enjoy it also good to go to if your near it. but im not a beginner so i would go to blue mountain or i love to go to kissing brig in the USA

Slopes were in great shape. Very good hills for beginners and advanced riders.
