Great weekend courtesy of this resort, even if snow sports are not your thing, there is a wide variety of other activities and places to check out. I've had no issues with the runs and chairlifts. Ski instructors are great foods a little pricey but decent selection throughout the resort.
Great experience, lots to do for entertainment. Friendly staff
Had a beautiful pool view, staff was friendly and helpful.
Large clean rooms, friendly staff everywhere amazing views, awesome fun! Great place to go skiing or snowboarding!
Amazing service overall! We stored our MTbikes at the gift shop, they re super pleasant to deal with. From the ice cream shop to the lift itself the staff was always ready to give us excellent service. I enjoyed the Bike Trails very much! They re very smooth and well designed (with a great view)! Absolutely loved Bazooka Joe! Can t wait till next season!
Amazing ski hill with a huge back bowl with lots of variety of terrain, I went on a cloudy day so I could enjoy the view but over all great time on a quite hill.
Loved it. Great ski trails, lots of challemging trails, great snow, hardly any one on the slopes, zero wait time at the chair lifts, ski in ski it was fabulous, hot tub, restaurants were great, everything was wonderful. I'm going back!!
Nice location, service was poor. Required to keep skis in a locker but maintenance never removed a lock which had been on for a year. Said they would have it off within an hour for us and four days later it is still there. Wi-fi is terrible - most of the time you can't log on. Downhill skiing was good; however, a lot of runs had a lot of rocks and should not have been opened yet. XC ski trails not well maintained. Too many snowshoers and fat bikers destroying the trackset.
Compact resort with good snow especially in Taunton Bowl. Mountain friends are a good bunch, worth asking a day with them.
Awesome place was there off season was perfect for no people. But that meant lots of stuff was closed.
Beautiful location, both for skiing and mountain biking, if you go on the right days you will not be disappointed. Also it's nice that they have small cabins and lodges the whole way down the hill, it's nice to grab a drink every once and a while. If your going, this hill will not disappoint.
The resort village is layed out well. The community hot tubs were great. There are a few restaurants and only one shop with clothing for purchase, that had very little selection for Panorama souvenir clothing. There is a general store near by with a two other clothing options, but that was it. The resort as a whole is beautiful and it is definitely a place I would love to come back to.
No lineups. Amazing terrain. Well trained and friendly staff. A major resort without all major resort business. Much more laid back.
Conditions depending. Excellent vertical runs with the ability to have extremely long scenic routes allowing you to explore the mountain. For the extreme skiers and snowboarders. The enjoyment is highly dependant on the snow quality. With poor snowfall I recomend staying on groomed runs as the others can get quite chopy.
Great family mountain. Lifts are a bit slow and a pain to get places but this keeps the crowds down and spread out around the mountain, which is a bit of a mixed blessing. Beer is decently priced at the lodge.
I loved the terrain but the lines were extremely long. They need to have more employees selling lift tickets to reduce wait times. They also need a new system to return the RFID cards at the end of the day.
Panorama Mt is one of the best mountains I've skied on -- perfect, wide groomers for cruising, the most insane views, and almost always little to no lines for the lifts. The on-mountain dining huts are so special, quaint & picturesque. However, I was there about 3 years ago and they had this delicious cafe, Lusty's, which has now closed, so that was a bummer. And, they used to serve apres ski around firepits outside of The Great Hall, which is, in my opinion, the only way to wrap up a day of skiing. But that has since stopped - no fire pits & the Hall closes the same time as the Mt! What mt resort has zero fire pits?! And, if you take the last lift up and get down after 4pm, The Hall is already closed! If you're like me, the beers after a hard days riding, in all your gear, watching the sun go down on the mt that you spent the day tearing up, are quite possibly the best part of the day, and Panorama no longer has this option -- so incredibly disappointing. Stay open until 5pm at least, and reward the thigh busters rolling in last. Would be my favorite place in the world if only...
Great resort good value for price yu pay great staff
Skiing was great since it snowed the day before we arrived. There are plenty of things to do in and around the resort. My only gripe is how dirty our room was. The walls are covered in stains, the counters were covered in what I think was dried up milk and the entrance to the room was soaked with water. It doesn't help that it's $90 to have your room cleaned when it's obvious they hadn't cleaned before we arrived.
An excellent little mountain village resort. Well maintained accommodations and grounds with friendly staff and excellent views.
We went for pre season race training. That's pretty cool because you get to meet some very elite athletes. I personally didn't ski this time(racers only). At this of year, mostly manmade snow.
Not everything is going yet.
Had a nice time here, it's clean and the staff are friendly, lots to do, kids had fun.
Pool is a little shallow for a large adult but still fun.
Rooms are comfy, only criticism for the rooms are the little sound proofing.
Elevators in the Tamarak building are painfully slow.
Having said that, I would definitely return.
I have enjoyed full service, quality accommodations, great to do things there. I do not use this place to stay at and go into say Fairmount , or Fernie etc. I would use this place as a company meeting location, ie hold meetings there and employees stay overnight, but give them time to use pools, bike paths, or skiing? Bring your groceries from Alberta so you save on taxes. Great Barbecue pits there too. Good parking near our units we rented.
One of my favourite mountains to snowboard. The weather is almost always mild, close to Invermere if you need anything you can't find on site. A decent variety of food and drink options on site, cozy clean suites and wonderful outdoor hot tubs make this one of the best winter resorts in Canada.
lots of activities up here in the resort...nice for families and kids.
The reason why I visit here every year is that my family like and enjoy the terrains of Panorama. A little bit expensive accommodation can be a regrettable point, but I still love enjoying here overally. One tip is that the terrains of Panorama(even green or blue) is a little bit more difficult than other ski resorts around Jasper or Banff.
great time in the summer staff awsome weather great
If you re staying here overnight, the best part is the ski-in, ski-out
I couldn t believe how rude and arrogant all staff that we encountered were. When skiing is over, they shut everything 5 min early and in our case, came and told me to get out of my waiting place in the lodge at 4:03 because they needed to vacuum the massive great room and it bothered them that I was waiting to meet family coming off the hill and taking up 2 sq feet of space at the doorway on the far side that would take about half an hour to get to with that vacuum. Our family met 3 minutes later and I did not move far from that spot because children, esp those with type 1 diabetes need to have reliable meetup points for safety as well. What a horrible place that employs this rude young woman who felt her vacuum deserves greater consideration than 3 extra minutes of annoyance we caused her on the far side of the room to ensure family and child safety. The rest of the staff throughout the day competed for the nastiest employee award today! Perhaps the bar was raised too far by the extraordinarily pleasant staff at the Fairmont ski hill, where we enjoyed some great times this week! Kudos to them for being awesome!
Panorama is my favourite mountain in the area. Less busy, but still just as great as the bigger more popular hills.
Great skiing when your in the Columbia Valley. It s a big mountain with tones of terrain from extreme beginner to just plain extreme!
Loved my time at the resort. Only negatives were the rooms were outdated (some mildew and mold in the utility closet) and mini golf was overpriced. Really enjoyed hiking on the mountain and walking along Toby Creek. We will return again for sure.
Just an awesome place had a wonderful New Year's on the mountain
We had stayed here last year and left a 4 star review however due to issues with our planed trip this year and the customer service before we are even there I will be giving them a 1 star and will adjust accordingly after our stay in the coming month.
My husband and I have been coming here for 20 years and we absolutely love it!
Pure winter sports resort, dead the rest of the year
Amazing ski runs, snow is usually nice on the top runs, the resort itself is well designed to be a heaven to be anyone who enjoys winter sports.
Great place just make sure to bring firewood as it took almost two days to warm the place up LOL nice having the fireplace having a hot tub
Don't come here if you are poor. Unless you are Australian.
Very nice ski resort lots of different terrain for all levels of adventurers!
Great setting and facilities and guest services were very helpful with a mixup in our reservation
Panorama is a beautiful destination, for skiing, snowboarding, swimming, cycling and relaxing. The resort has an awesome swimming pool and a number of hot tubs throughout the village, which has an ambiance worth experiencing. We have visited here every year for the past 20 plus years
The natural beauty is incredible. The resort is kind of poorly managed. Called for reservations back in early June and was told that because we were staying during shoulder season the retail shops would not be open. That was fine because Invermere is a sweet place and we had some other plans. When we arrived and started looking into some activities we found out that any activity that involved the ski lifts was out also because the ski lifts only operate on weekends
and only after July 1. Kind of disappointing.
Got to our condo to find bags of cleaning supplies and an industrial vacuum sitting inside the front door.
We were told there would be plenty of bottled water in the condo because of the turbidity issue. No water! Drive back to the check in to be grudgingly given one bottle. Begged another.
Told to call 24/7 if there are any problems. Try to call to book a tee time but the phone cord has been lying up against the baseboard heater and burned in half. Maintainence comes quite quickly. Good man.
Try to find out about just renting a bike and getting some more soap. On hold for 20 minutes. No foil, plastic wrap, or baggies to put leftovers in. One plastic container with no lid.
Like I said the natural beauty is incredible.
Visited a resident through a window. So clear the care staff are fully committed to supporting residents during this extraordinary time. Grateful & appreciative of these folks.
Such an amazing ski hill to stay at with lovely townhouses and an gorgeous view from the summit
Have been going here for over a decade and I always enjoy the time spent here.
We go to Panorama every winter starting in 2012, we go with our kids and there are many options for places to stay for different budgets. There are also so many places to eat, including coffee shops. We love the variety and last year the added in the candy cabin at the resort and it was a hit with the kids....and adults too with a huge variety. No matter which hotel/lodge/inn we have stayed at it has been clean, the beds and pillows could use some updating but otherwise they have all we need there. Good is delicious and the T-bar is our favourite place to eat as a family. Lusti cafe is amazing and we have spent many occasions reading with hot chocolate by the fire warming up. I can t say anything negative as it s pretty obvious we love it as we go back every year for our family Christmas, it s our gift to each other and we wouldn t have it any other way. New Year s Eve was amazing there with the torch light up the night and fire works. The ski hills are maintained well, paths and snow shoeing doesn t disappoint either. Best place for family time!!
A little known world class ski hill. As good as any hill in the Rockies. Great range of runs from beginners to experts. And great in summer for hiking, biking and getting away from it all.
Amazing views and oh so relaxing. There's something for everyone to do anytime of the year..
We love going to Panorama resort at least once every year!
Night skiing is amazing, and new RFID system is extremely convenient.
Had a great weekend here...... They had everything you needed to feel safe during Covid. Wipes readily available, cleaning often.
Beautiful weather and even better resort.
Great outdoor and ski resort. Loads to do, long long runs. Lots of summer activities also.
Impossible to get a hold of. Their phone lines just go to an automated service that just loops you around and you NEVER speak to an actual person.
Well maintained resort! The snow is amazing for skiing! The Panorama Springs Lodge is amazing hotel with a hot tub, and pool and you can ski out to your hotel. The gondolas are fast too. The store has a great layout and a great pizza place too. We have been coming here for the past 3 years and will definitely be back here!
Great resort with lots of runs for all levels of skill. Tends to be less busy than the resorts closer to Calgary even at peak times. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Several told me they like working at Panorama because it's more like a family. This translates into happy staff who provide excellent service. The guys in the custom ski shop really know their stuff.
Always a great day at Panorama! The snow was terrific, and it is great to hit those hidden stashes
We had an amazing trip here this past week! Super friendly staff, well groomed runs as well as lots of areas to play in the trees!
