Panorama Mountain Village 6 Day Snow Forecast

After reading the reports on here I had to post to let people know just how good a resort this is. I was in Pano (Panorama Mountain Village) for 9 weeks this year, we had new snow every week at least. I skied every day both working with ski school (which is on of the most professional ski schools I have come across) and training with Snow Challenge instructor training course. With so much snow this year (I know I was lucky) I was still finding new routes in both Taynton Bowl and the Extreme Dream Zone on my last day. With so much beginner terrain it’s a great place to teach and you can have so much fun in safe off-piste in-bounds areas like the Sunbowl and Funders Ridge. Yes, there are a few bad points such as a long ski out from Taynton down the worlds coldest cat track and the -30 days. If you have only skied in Europe then you just have to go somewhere like Pano. No lift queues even on the busy February holidays, 5min max at the bottom lift, I didn’t see a queue on any of the other lifts more than 20 people. As for après-ski two bars is all I need, always a good time in the TBar after a day’s skiing. Yes, it is limited but that’s the price you pay for having the pistes to yourself (If you don’t mind the cold January is empty). As for the people I challenge anyone to find a more friendly resort. After skiing Canada I will find it very hard to ski in Europe again. If you are looking to do some serious training Snow Challenge Canada offers some good value coursed with a great bunch of people. I will be back next year if it’s the last thing I do.
