  I had a horrible experience at Nakiska. I was highly disappointed as we were charged higher rates because of the holiday to have them close the Olympic lift at 2:00. It was the only lift you could go up without the freezing cold wind in your face. When I went to find out why it was being closed I was told it was because there wasn’t enough people. However, as I was leaving the lift (Olympic) there was a line up of people that were switching from the Silver chair to get out of the wind. When I spoke to the customer service they said it was because they weren’t at capacity and that is how RCR is run. I can understand when they break down and need repairs but as an avid skier I have never been to a resort that closes a lift because they were not at capacity but still had a line of people to get on.
  After speaking with the customer service department and RCR I received a lack of response and was disregarded.

  On your way to Banff is Nakiska. No lift lines, beautiful scenery and 56 runs, the most snow making in the Rockies and when it snows because of the snow making even the glades are fab. It also has some funky double black stuff, not a lot but what they have is a workout. It is the Rockies so a day skiing here will do the leg burn thing just as good as any hill in the area.

  I ski at Nakiska with my kids (in elementary school) each week. Nakiska is all about families, lessons, race training and wide-open groomed runs.
  If you're looking for a place to learn or to take the kids near Calgary, Nakiska can't be beat. If you want 'steep & deep' keep driving west to Sunshine, Louise, Kicking Horse or Fernie.

  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.
