- Edward from United States writes:
Kirkwood offers some of the best snow in the region, with extensive expert terrain and fewer crowds compared to other nearby resorts. Parking is close and convenient. However, food services are lacking. This mountain is ideal for strong skiers and riders who prioritize snow quality and challenging terrain over dining and après-ski amenities. Favorate runs: 2-man Chute, Olympic, Sisters Chute, Whiskey Slide.
