Featuring one of North America's biggest and best verticals.

Panorama ski resort is seated at the base of a quirky mountain etched with deep ridges and playful bowls. Forget long straight trails down the hill. Think twisting, turning, undulating, dipping and swerving. Steep runs with cliffs. Huge views one minute followed by densely forested trails the next. This is a place for adventure, with a comfortable dwelling to ski home to. This purpose-designed village ensures you are never more than 5 minutes from the mountain, or anything else. The excellent childcare and kids ski school makes Panorama a dream destination for families.

On the mountain

The Extreme Dream zone is all about cliffs and riding through tight trees, and fresh powder can be found in The Sun Bowl. The abundance of varied blacks scribbled across the whole ski area will keep even the most discerning experts happy for hours. Intermediates with less confidence may find the terrain a little restrictive, but beginners and kids will be happy with good nursery slopes and some pleasing long green runs after day 1 or 2.

Off the mountain

After all that mountain play, Panorama is a small, quiet sanctuary to rest your weary ski legs. This Intrawest purpose-built, car-free resort is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet over parties. For apres-ski drop in at the Crazy Horse for live music, or barbecue with the ski school before watching the torchlit descent from the comfort of North America's largest slopeside hot pools. Out and about later on, dining options include steak, pasta and pizza at several tasty restaurants.

Panorama offers not only downhill skiing in the winter but also excellent heliskiing at RK Heliskiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, skating and so much more.
