Visitor Reviews of Nakiska


Harry Harrison from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Arrived here on a day drip from Banff (less than an hour by car) and thought it was shut.
This resort redefines the phrase deserted pistes, it is a deserted resort.
Really good for beginners/intermediates who like cruising prepared pistes all day, there is little or no off-piste powder runs, at least not when we were there.
A Hidden Gem.
