Visitor Reviews of Castle Mountain Resort

John from CANADA writes:

I ski Fernie because it is 35kms from my house. However, I frequently ski most of the big mountain resorts in the southern Canadian Rockies & northern USA.
In my opinion Castle is the very best mountain you will find in the area.
The lifts are ancient and visibility is a problem (and a gift since "Wind Sift”cleans out tracks in a matter of minutes).
Castle, with nearly 2,000 acres & usually small crowds, is truly an expert's mountain, with few diamond runs, less than 45 degrees (the steepest - Lone Star - being 54) & with straight line verticals of more the 2,000 feet.
It operates on a co-op principle with 1,000 shareholders who can own no more than 1/1000th of the resort.
I can't say enough about this place.
Try it out.
