At Panorama, every day is a ski day, that’s why
the resort has quickly become a favourite for New
Zealanders who head north between December and
April. Here, closed days never happen.
Surrounded by the endless mountain peaks of the
Canadian Rockies, Panorama’s 1,300 metre vertical
is giant even by North American standards. The
awards keep on coming for superb grooming on
the best fall-lines you can ski. Don’t worry about lift
lines, even on the busiest days they are almost nonexistent.
Join the Mountain Friends for a free tour of
endless terrain, likely with other Kiwis wanting to know
the local’s secrets. You’ll likely meet up with your new
mates when the lifts close too.
The ski-in / ski-out village offers apartment style
accommodation right beside the lifts. Everything you’d
expect of a first-rate resort is at your doorstep, except
throbbing nightclubs and bars packed to the rafters.
Panorama is a place to relax, sit back, and watch the
snowflakes drift down. Don’t forget RK Heliski, right in
the heart of the village, flying to the sort of snow seen
in all the best ski movies.
If a powder-filled road trip is what you need, how
about the Mountain Collective’s Order of the True
North? One pass is your ticket to Panorama, Lake
Louise, Banff Sunshine, Revelstoke and Sun Peaks.
You get to ski the best of home too at Coronet Peak
and The Remarkables.
It’s time to make tracks!
