Mountain is amazing BUT our accomodation (1bd loft) at Toby Condos had incredibly dangerous stairs. The bed is in the loft, and the bathroom/living area downstairs. The stairs are almost as steep as a ladder, with tiny narrow slippery carpeted steps.
Both my husband and I fell down the stairs, despite being very cautious and generally having quick reflexes.
Not normally something I d complain about, but really looks like a serious injury waiting to happen, especially if someone is trying to get to the washroom in the middle of the night.

There were also 3 flights of stairs to get up to the room in the building, 4 from the car park, so not a very accessible room.
Really disappointing (and scary) as otherwise the room was expensive but nice and well appointed.

Will definitely be asking for another room on the next visit.

Love this place.. Golf course is the best course I've played so far in life.. Village is great and the skiing in the sun is fantastic especially the new Monster! Bike park is apparently great too, and improving each year!

The resort is always very polished... and that is a bad thing. It doesn't get as much snow as the other resorts arround it, and I'm not sure if the groomers don't go deep enoigh or it's just how the melt/ski-off cycle goes but I find most times I come to Panorama you are skiing on polished hardpack/ice. Which is a shame because the runs are cut with a good variety and in general I like the resort... just watch the weather before coming. In January the hill is in shadow most of the day, but in April the sun makes it over the ridge by 10am or so.

Mini golf takes an extreme level of skill. The turf is fully flattened and turned into a slick material. You might as we be putting on concrete. I'm disappointed by the distinct lack of windmills.

Great resort, except almost everything!!!!!!! Ahaha I say this with a grain on salt..... Everyone you will see on a day today basics is amazing!!!! So friendly and helpful and just amazing..... Now if you actually know the resort the whole place is absolutely horrible the management team should really be reconsidered...! Like ASAP ROCKY!!!!! PLUS people can afford things if I eat at alto one more time after the hill and get prissy looks (don't make a pizza place with fine dinning then) you have cheap pizza people are gunna come in that are bumming the hill.... You put that in a nice sit down restaurant? Ok but if that's the case when I'm done snowboarding for the day don't look at me like omg why didn't that guy dress up for this place.....

Spacious comfortable units with ensuite laundry and BBQ, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is an outdoor pool and hot tub with free gondola access. Great vacation getaway for a family with kids.

If you want to feel one with nature, this is the place for you. Sip your morning coffee on a balcony and take in the view of the mountains all around you. Listen to the rushing of the Toby Creek (or river, I have no idea what it's actually called) and check out the deer that like to chill in the area. Can't wait to see it in the winter!

They need to limit number if guests during Covid measures. An hour wait to get on lift. Three rides for the day. A waste of time for me. Only two stars because trails (what I saw were in good condition).

We had visited the resort about five years prior to this visit (last week in Oct 2019) and were just a little hesitant to come back as we were concerned about the accommodations - specifically beds. We were pleasantly surprised that the unit we stayed in had been updated and beds were very comfortable. It is our understanding that many/most of the units have been updated.
There are great trails to explore, however I did not hike very much as I was hiking alone and sighted a bear ahead of me on the Valley Trail - thankfully it was not curious and turned the opposite direction - as did I.
We saw a lot of wildlife in the area as we explored on short day trips (by vehicle).
We intend to return earlier in the fall when it is warmer and no snow and hope to go on some ATV adventures - perhaps with local Toby Creek Adventures tour.

Put a microwave in the cafeteria.... Fix ski and snowboard locks (they are all missing locking pins). This resort need some TLC.
Admittedly little hungry so perhaps this will deserves a better rating, slopes are good. Lifts are not heated and not covered.
Also maybe upgrade to heated seats for chairlifts like at sunshine

Great 4 season area.Stellar golfing in summer as well as mountain biking.Then skiing from late Nov to April.Great little grocery store as most units are fully equipped chalets with stoves hot tubs etc.
There is a cable car from the lower units to the activity areas and a ski lift operating in the summer to the mountain top

Great resort facilities, condos and terrain. -1 for the lack of good lift facilities. From bottom to top you have to take multiple lifts and it takes a very long time. Needs a good high speed gondola. Other than that it's just perfect.

We had a great time at Panorama a couple of weeks ago. The Gondola to the chalet from the parking lot was a treat and there was ample parking available.

The beginners area was impressive compared to other resorts we've been to. Nice big run for when you finally find your legs without have to go right to the top of the mountain.

We are a family of fairly good snowboarders. 2 adults and a 13 year old who prefer the blue runs. There are lots of runs more suited to skiers than snowboarders. Huge moguls and long flat trails to get to areas of the mountain that set your legs on fire. Unfortunately the longest trail was the only way to get to an area of blues that were our favourite runs without going double blacks first.

The lodge is well set up with a bar and great self food service.

Also loved the ski shop - wide range of goggles, clothing and accessories that range from low to high end and friendly knowledgeable staff.

I enjoyed my two days snowboarding at Panorama for a few reasons. Staff is professional and courteous. There is a lot of terrain and even late in the season, the grooming team works wonders at night freshening up the runs. There s lots of options when exploring. Other skiers and riders were, in my experience, polite and friendly. The huts on the mountain offered different experiences, and the food vendor on the mountain the day I stopped by had yummy jackfruit tacos. I experienced some equipment failures and had to patch up a gouge in my board. I was able to get new equipment and a tune up overnight. This was a real bonus.

Great resort that has something for all year round. Skiing is great in the winter. There is also great golfing and downhill mountain biking. Trails in the area are great and some nice lakes as well.

Panorama was and amazing experience. My family and I only went there for a couple hours since we were staying in Radium. The mountains were beautiful! I would definitely stay there for a few days! I especially loved the gondala ride.

A magical place. I've been going to Pano for 36 years and all the changes have only enhanced the experience. I wish the hot pool was accessible to valley folks (for a fee, even) after a day of skiing...especially in spring.

I stayed here for a week in Janurary and really enjoyed everything about my stay. The room was a bit dated, but other than that I had a blast. Only downside is that the mountain was extremely icy so I barely snowboarded. But the food was delicious.. especially the tomato basil soup!! The staff were really nice and very accomodating. And the hot tub was really nice to relax in after a long cold day.

Enjoyed the new terrain, and had soft snow over the whole mountain. Lifts are ok and functional. The back bowls all funnel into the same gully, which can become difficult for intermediate skiers to navigate. Overall had fun and will return.

We have been coming here every year for the last ten year's. We love how big the mountain is and there's something here for all skill levels. We also love that it's not too busy here so the snow doesn't get tracked out like a other resorts. There are lots of places to stay on the resort for all budgets. All the places we've stayed at have been nice and clean and we always receive great service. The best part about panorama are the hot springs which makes this resort so unique and very family friendly.

LOVED it here! The mountain offers something for every skill level, the staff were all great, and the views were stunning. Staying here for a week, my wife & I got to see & ride the mountain under a wide range of snow conditions and had a great time though all of them. We're already planning our next trip back.
