We have been coming up for many years now and I will agree with some others about the pricing Sasquatch thinks he is a big mtn. But hate to say it you are a quaint little mtn, which we enjoy, but having a hard time to digest the lift ticket pricing. We love the riding',tubing, snowshoeing on all parts of the mtn. The powder and blue skies were a treat. I feel for the staff who have to put up with those who don't comply to the rules. The parking attendant was excellent, a true people person. She loved her job. Overall, love it. Just didn't like the turtle slow chairs and the pricing to ride.

Greasiest mountain I’ve ever been to. Staff is disrespectful, prices are outrageous, in the past 3 years I’ve seen the day passes jump from 70-90 with each season? Yet the staff salaries haven’t been raised? This place will go under very shortly if they continue the way they are, $90 for a day pass on the worst mountain in the Fraser valley? No thanks.

This place is a joke. They make you pay $600+ for a silver season pass and then they hit you with blackout dates that last 2 weeks after opening day, wtaf, absolutely pathetic. They’ve also raised daily lift tickets 3 years in a row. It was always $70 for endless years and now it’s gone from $79-80-90 each year. Some loser in management is on a power high, and thanks too him they’re now losing 4 silver pass members for next year. Never buying a season pass for this carnival mountain again.

Haven't commented too much but we have been out and about at Sasquatch and this year has been the best riding year with the new quad and spring break was great. The snow stayed cool enough so we didn't stick much at all. (One day) With covid there were restrictions but still got to enjoy a glass of wine outside in the snow storm on Sunday. Staff were great. This year we noticed that grooming was great most of the year. Off-piste on those powder days was enjoyable. One thing I still have to complain about is the pricing for a small mountain terrain.

Great mountain with wide open usable terrain, short lines, great views and plenty of potential. The terrain is great and snow abundant. The vertical drop posted is somewhat misleading at 1300', as it is 1100' with the highest point of 4320'at the top of the green chair not the red chair, either way that will improve with the future expansions to adjacent mountains. [note from the editor: we display information suggested by the staff at this ski area.]

Great family hill with so much potential. This past year: 2016/17 was incredible. Who says Hemlock doesn't get any snow? With 900+cm last winter I had so many 18"-30" of powder days it was unreal. Go to other local mountains with high speed lifts/lines and it is all tracked up within a couple of hours. Even on the busiest of days if all the chairs are running the lift wait is minimal at SMR. It has been good to see some improvements lately like the magic carpet (which needs a cover like Mt. Seymour so the staff does not need to clear snow off it on snowy mornings and could focus on other morning start up operations). They also need a reliable generator for the frequent power outages so Sasquatch (green) chair could remain operational. It would be great to see night skiing on the Skyline (red) chair instead of Sasquatch chair as it is not nearly as likely to be closed due to wind/cold on that side of mountain. Looking forward to the future development and increased terrain once pre-development hurdles are crossed.

Great little mountain and good snow, but service could definitely be improved. All ski resorts I've been to clear off their chairlifts when it's snowing. We were there the other day with heavy snowfall and no one lifted a finger. Not only is it incredibly cold to sit on an inch of snow, it's also very unsafe. I tried to clear it myself, but it was too difficult and when I sat on it, I almost slipped off a couple times. We had to leave early because our butts were frozen and our pants soaked. I would not feel safe taking my kids on these lifts in the snow. In addition, their crew is young and not well trained in operating the lifts (one was stuck for 10 min) and customer service: didn't even move to retrieve the pole I lost getting off the chair in front of his booth. A first aid attendant walked up the hill to get it for me.

Back on the slopes at the beginning of Feb and with all the rain that had been reported, the slopes were still in useable condition with a couple of cm of snow added to it. Once again, the whole family was up and we enjoyed riding, lessons, snowshoeing and tubing. There was some left over powder on some of the slopes. Staff is always friendly; sometimes you just have to start the conversation. If you want food, the pub is where to be. The burger to order is the Hemlock Burger: excellent and definitely filling. Service was great considering they were busy. This mountain is ready to roll. Heard about the expansion and can hardly wait for the 6pack chair on the red and quads on the green. Hope to see you on the slopes soon.

Once again we went up to Hemlock at the beginning of February and were not expecting too much riding as there had been a lot of rain, but to our surprise with 14 cm new, we all had a great time on the slopes. The snow held up it's side and we all had a great time. With the mention of the expansion beginning soon, we can look forward to more from this little gem of a mountain. Can hardly wait to see the 6 pack on the red chair and the terrain that they will be opening. We did some snowshoeing as well and as always we enjoyed the quiet walks in the forest. See you on the slopes and trails.

We, once again, spent the Xmas holidays at this sleepy mountain. Well it was anything but sleepy this year! The snow was absolutely great, along with bluebird skies from the 28th on, wow! It was just amazing to ski in December with these kinds of conditions. The resort was overwhelmed so waiting for food and drink in the bar could have been better but the line-ups for skiing were not bad although Hemlock locals had a different opinion. Anyways, once again our experience was one of fun in the sun and great ski conditions. Thanks to all the lifties and bar staff for making it a great 10 days. Will be back soon.
