Visitor Reviews of The Canyons
Andy from United Kingdom writes:
WOW....What an amazing resort.
I snowboard all round the world, including Europe, Canada and Australia.
The Canyons has so much to offer now with it's massive improvements last season. The relocation of the village gondola makes morning loading a breeze. Also, the only resort I know that has a bubble chair with heated seats! They have also opened up a new section of mountain called 'Iron Mountain' so it now boasts an amazing 4000 acres of fun! This resort just keeps getting better. Definitely the most professional ski school I've come across. Their staff come across so passionate for what they do and seem so proud of where they work.
If you enjoy the snow, then you simply have to visit the Canyons!
