It is a very popular resort with guests as it gets over 37 feet of natural snow each winter. With elevations of 1,052 and 2,134 metres, the breathtaking views and the wide range of terrain available it is more than clear to see why.For skiing and snowboarding, there are 142 kilometres of slopes available with so many difficulty levels, which are distributed amongst five different bowls. The Polar Peak and the Lower Mountain area offers 42 kilometres of gently sloped, extra wide ski highways, ideal for those who are new to skiing. 58 kilometres of speedy intermediate slopes including ‘Dancer’ and ‘Cascade’ and 42 kilometres of steep, high adrenaline terrain which also contain the double diamond runs ‘Anaconda’ and ‘Bootleg Glades’
At the end of an epic day on the pistes there is a wealth of restaurants and après ski bars to choose from. For drinks and live music, the Griz Bar is a rustic and traditional bar with live music on offer. Guests usually like to take advantage of winding down in one of the outdoor hot whirlpools, whilst watching the sunset behind the Rocky Mountains.
