panorama<br />

mountain resort<br />

At Panorama, every day is a ski day, that’s why<br />

the resort has quickly become a favourite for New<br />

Zealanders who head north between December<br />

and April.<br />

Surrounded by the endless mountain peaks of the<br />

Canadian Rockies, Panorama offers 1,300 metres<br />

of vertical with terrain for those seeking something<br />

a little out of the ordinary. Lift lines are almost<br />

nonexistent; on many days runs like View of 1000<br />

Peaks, Rollercoaster and Top of the World feel like<br />

a private ski resort. Join the Mountain Friends for<br />

a free tour of the mountain, likely with other Kiwis<br />

seeking secret stashes. Meet up with new friends<br />

when it’s time for après.<br />

Kia ora, koutou<br />

The ski-in / ski-out village offers apartment-style<br />

accommodation right beside the lifts. Everything<br />

you’d expect of a first-rate resort is at your doorstep.<br />

Then, there’s Canada’s largest slopeside hot pools<br />

at Panorama Springs. And RK Heliski, right in the<br />

heart of the village, flying to the sort of snow seen<br />

in all the best ski movies.<br />

Up for an incredible Canadian road trip? How<br />

about the Mountain Collective’s Order of the True<br />

North? Get a pass, ski Coronet Peak and the<br />

Remarkables this Kiwi winter, then hit Panorama<br />

and other leading destinations in British Columbia<br />

and Alberta.<br />

The snow fell deep at Panorama Mountain Resort this past winter, but something was missing…<br />

If you were looking at Instagram or Facebook, we’re sure that everything appeared to be in order. Fluffy white<br />

flakes falling on the Panorama Springs Pools. Tasty raclette at the Elkhorn Cabin. Monster-X rumbling to the top<br />

of powder filled leg burners. The sun setting on the lofty summit of Mt. Nelson.<br />

So, what wasn’t quite right? It’s easy to answer. We missed the hundreds and hundreds of Kiwis that make<br />

Panorama Mountain Resort their Canadian playground each winter. Ash from Horopito didn’t fly off on his<br />

annual pilgrimage. Taynton Bowl never saw the tracks of Gav and Lorraine from Te Puke. Liz and Piha didn’t stop<br />

by to tell us about their latest North American resort mission. We’re sorry we couldn’t catch up with Mike and<br />

Ange from Christchurch in the T-Bar.<br />

While Mother Nature was as amazing as ever, our resort just wasn’t the same without our friends from<br />

Aotearoa. We know you made the best of things by catching a tonne of snapper or tramping tracks that felt like<br />

they did back in the 70s, but don’t make a habit of staying home. The mountains miss you and the Panorama<br />

team does too. Please come back and see us soon!<br />

Cheers,<br />

Marke Dickson<br />

PS: Panorama must be one of the few international resorts where Kiwis usually outnumber Aussies. Although<br />

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Southlander, I’m not afraid to say that we missed our Australian friends too.<br />

Don’t forget, 2021 Whakapapa and Turoa season<br />

passholders are VIPs at Panorama. Stay slopeside<br />

and ski free in the 2021/22 Northern Hemisphere<br />

season! Conditions do apply so talk to a preferred<br />

New Zealand snow travel partner.<br />

There’s more to the mountains.+<br />
