Great food options, lift tickets are much more reasonably priced than Whistler. Friendly staff, the lifts and gondolas are all nice. The mountain is incredible skiing and very big. Even though there can be a lot of people the slopes don't feel crowded. Well worth the drive.
The trainers here are super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a must try during night as the view is wonderful. Lots of light so it makes it easier on the way down.
Beautiful place but the crowds, price of tickets, and lack of snow was pretty lame this year. But I guess that’s climate change for ya! Great slopes nonetheless
Solid must do if you're in the Ontario area and want to ski in the winter.
For beginners the trainers there are awesome, ask for Kevin, his years of experience in training shows in his delivery.

Worst resort ever, all the trails are closed and the ones that are open, blue mountain doesn’t even pump snow out. Look at the trail to see for yourself, it’s all ice and brown patches, how is anyone suppose to board. Even resorts in California have better trail conditions because they know how to pump snow out when the weather is not snowing ???
Whistler Blackcomb, a winter paradise nestled in British Columbia, captivates with its majestic peaks and unrivaled skiing. The vast terrain caters to all skill levels, from thrilling steeps to gentle slopes. The resort's vibrant village pulsates with energy, offering diverse dining, lively nightlife, and cozy accommodations. Adventure enthusiasts revel in the world-renowned Peak 2 Peak Gondola, providing breathtaking views between the mountains. Whistler's commitment to excellence extends beyond skiing, delivering an immersive winter wonderland with unparalleled charm. It's not just a resort; it's a sensory journey, leaving visitors spellbound by the sheer grandeur and magic of Whistler Blackcomb.
We had an incredible time at Blue Mountain Ski Resort in Canada! The thirty fast nights celebration was unforgettable, and the fireworks were absolutely fabulous, thrilling us with excitement. The vibrant atmosphere and the warmth of the friendly staff added to the overall enjoyment.
Highly recommend this resort for an unforgettable winter experience!

Long drive through the countryside for this amazing experience! I loved the place and how well they organized things.
Plenty of snow up top but none in the Villiage this year so far.
Lines for the Gondola weren't too bad given its early Kanuary peak season. Not ideal conditions but made the most of it. More snow forecast later this week

Beginners BEWARE! The green trails here are for “advanced beginners” I would say. I write this review from my “beginner/sporadic skier” point of view. The magic carpet is great and actually has a pretty nice area, you can take a second magic carpet for a longer run. After that the “easiest” green is easy street which starts out pretty flat but then it becomes somewhat steep. It merges with the last part of an advanced run, so go figure lol. It’s doable and we enjoyed it a lot but would not even try the other greens which I’ve been told are even a little more difficult. I liked it because it was a challenge for me and I think it helped me progress but some people may find it overwhelming.
The service however is great, the staff is super friendly and well organized. The views are breathtaking. Overall a great experience.
Oh! They offer a “progression” pass which includes only the magic carpet and easy street. You can upgrade it later (paying the difference) if you find easy street too easy for you. I probably should have done that.

The mountain is amazing. The service is well organized. We spend half a day trying different runs and nothing got repetitive. The views are so beautiful you just want to stop and admire.Next time definitely a full day for this awesome ski resort.
Went for Business convention. The resort is situated in very beautiful place, rooms are neat and clean. I love positive vibes and enjoy nature.
I'm from the US but I've also been to a few resorts in British Columbia including Whistler.
That being said this resort blew me away in terms of views, ski able areas, fast/high lifts, and especially... short lines! It's probably the best resort I've ever been to so far.
Parking can get a little bit unwieldy and there's spots on the road for a while but you might have to walk a short distance.

Favorite place to snowboard. Amazing resort, the views are amazing, and just going down the trails is a blast. Definitely want to come back here to snowboard.
I was disappointed! All the ads suggested that I’d have a great chance of seeing wildlife, especially grizzly bears and I didn’t see any bears. Not even a deer. I saw a squirrel and a gray Jay. It was a beautiful ride though and the scenery was spectacular. The Wildlife Interpretive Center was great and even offered free coffee and hot chocolate. The restaurant at the main building was fair. I had a burger there. Had to wait a while for it. There’s a lovely gift shop. There’s supposed to be a restaurant at the top but it was closed.

Amazing hiking, biking trails, paths are seperated upon entry, the noise from high way is drowned pretty quick as you walk closer to Wilson Falls, the views are breath-taking. Bring snacks, the walk can be as long or short as you like, we spent about 3 hours there, taking pictures, jumping on the rocks, having little snacks, they have proper washrooms in their welcoming centre with seating to relax and fresh drinking water. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the parc.
Located just about 30 minutes from Montreal, this park is a true gem. The entrance fee is $9.55 per adult, and you can easily purchase it at the entrance. I highly recommend the hike around the lake (tour du lac) which takes around 2 hours covering about 9 km, but there are shorter trails too. The views are breathtaking, especially during the fall season, with serene lakes. It's pet and stroller-friendly, so you'll spot many dogs on leashes. Tip: Ask for a

About 35 minutes from Montreal, I had a great time hiking in the serene embrace of nature. The entrance fee is $11.50 per adult, and you can purchase it at the entrance. The trails were enjoyable, and the views were truly breathtaking. The sound of water flowing over the rocks is incredibly serene and relaxing. Tip: Bring some snacks and fluids for a perfect day out.
A beautiful, peaceful environment in the heart of nature with birds, squirrels, deer and...
An eye-catching nature that is located near the city life and you can take refuge in it to have a relaxing moment, take a walk in it, and on weekends in its coffee shop, which is located in a very old and historical building, invite yourself to a coffee!

Ski resort is awesome. The log building are extraordinary. Took a gondola up the mountain for views, saw 2 bears. Nice gravel trails, bear fencing, great view platform. Unfortunately the bistro and deck were closed for the season. Would recommend.
I never write google reviews, but my intro to park bike class with Snowy was my favorite thing I did in Whistler. He did such a great job of taking me from someone who can just ride a regular bike around town to feeling comfortable enjoying the green lines (and even some blue parts) which was my whole goal. I'm 100% coming back next year for more riding and another class just because of how well this one went.
I booked a campground for Sunday night When I got there after 5 minutes all the files and bugs attacked us, so we didn't stay one night and called them for a refund but they said it's not our problem no refund!!
This is a big nature parc... for walking around.. biking... have a picnic... enjoy the rapids
11.5 $ for adult
Lot of car parking.

Breathtaking views and overall a great experience! I've been here multiple times, but this is the first time we caught the golden hour colours of the mountains reflecting on the calm lake. It was such a wonderful moment. Make sure to arrive early to get a praking spot! This is absolutely priceless!!!
We were in jasper and we’re trying to book whistlers camp ground and made a mistake. When we called the camp ground the guy on the phone snapped at me no refunds. Didn’t care to even hear the mistake that was made. They are happy to steal your money. Terrible company. Thieves!
Great place to downhill. Great selection of trails. Try to go earlier in the season as the trails seem to get pretty rough later in the season.
First things first, gondola tickets are a LOT (75$ per person) but you get the best views of Vancouver, a pretty nice 45-minute Lumberjack show, two bears that live in a very large area, a bird show and beautiful wood carvings. The restaurants are decent but a little bit expensive.
If you have the courage and physical fit, I'd take the stairs up, but that is a long walk in itself.

We had an incredible family experience at the bike park! We took lessons from Evan Douglas and he was patient and made sure we felt comfortable with each skill he taught us. I would highly recommend him as an instructor!
I recommend lessons as we properly learned how to load a gondola with 4 bikes and how to do different kinds of trails!
It was definitely a busy time of year as it was the day before the Red Bull Joyride and my kids loved that!
There were long line ups for the gondola but that was to be expected because there were so many people in the town because of all the Crankworks events. I want to take my family back next year because the experience was so incredible!

Beautiful mountainous parc, with amazing water views, beautiful paths that allow tons of shade and deer sightseeing!
There are various places to sit and picnic and enjoy the day. We had a great time with our two years old.

BOOK AHEAD. The eagle coaster gets booked very quickly and might need to be booked weeks if not months in advance. You can probably try and see if you can find an open slot but when we went it's fully booked.
Parking gets a little busy as well so go early when you can.
If you have an EV, there are EV charging stations in the area but unfortunately some non-ev cars lark there as the parking lot gets full quickly.

Visited in the summer, it was a hot day! lovely holiday resort, the forest rollercoaster was awsome! It was too hot for the water bikes so only did one lap of the pond which was still fun. The resort as whole was very nice, friendly staff.
Certainly not the cheapest activity in the Vancouver area, but it really is worth it. The gondola ticket gets you to the top of the mountain and then there are a number of excellent activities included in the ticket price, including birds of prey, a lumberjack show, ranger talks, an opportunity to see two rescued grizzly bears, and a 4-man chairlift to the summit for even more stunning views. We took a picnic up to the summit to avoid the wait (and, probably, cost) of buying food on the mountain. That said, there are a number of different places to grab lunch should you want to, as well as an ice cream stand, coffee bar, BeaverTails, etc..
Half a day is barely enough to see it all properly, and it could easily be a full day out. Note that, at peak times, you may need to wait to get both up and down the mountain on the gondola - we waited around an hour to get back down (from 16:00-17:00).
Overall, well worth a visit.

Really worth a trip. The rides eagle coaster and scenic chairlift are very enjoyable. And there are many hiking trails nearby.
The Yew lake trail is so short and easy to discover. Loved it.

We visited in summer (Aug 2023), it’s so beautiful and amazing to see the mountains and rope way experience is world class.
If you are in Vancouver, you must visit Whistle. It’s 2 hours 30 mins travel from Vancouver. In the same ticket, you will travel to Blackcomb mountain, then Blackcomb peak to Whistler mountain. After taking a short trail, you can visit “the peak”.
Overall experience is awesome. There are few Indian restaurants which have amazing foods.

Very nice and fun for the whole family. You'll need a whole day to explore everything comfortably. They have a lot of informative, and funny shows. There's places to hike at as well.
One downside is that their food is overpriced. Overall a fun experience

We went during the summer and it was a great little tourist attraction with grizzly bears - Grinder & Coola - a Lumberjack show, Indigenous music, and wild birds of prey.
Recommend planning to spend at least a few hours here. The longest queue was taking the gondola down the mountain so plan on leaving taking a little longer then you would expect.
Got lucky and saw a beautiful Raven in the parking lot too.
There is a shuttle that takes you from Canada Place to Grouse Mountain that runs about every 30-45 minutes. If you are staying around downtown, use the shuttle to your advantage.

It's a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding, boasting world-class slopes and facilities. Beyond winter activities, Whistler offers a diverse range of outdoor recreation in the summer, such as biking, hiking, and golfing. Additionally, the village of Whistler has charming shopping and dining spots, providing visitors with a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
On our recent trip to Lake Louise, we decided to take the Lake Louise Gondola ride. We were pleasantly surprised to find free return transport from Lake Louise village to the Gondola which was prompt and comfortable.
You enter via the Ski Lodge which in itself is a great visitor attraction. It has all the charm you would expect with a great café, visitor shop and friendly welcoming staff.
The ride to the top of the Gondola was comfortable with full panoramic views over the lakes and mountains but the best part of the view was the grizzly bear we spotted casually munching his was along the slopes.
At the top there is a great interpretive centre that has animal exhibits and information on the local area and history. There are several hiking trails at the top that aren't too strenuous and deliver top class views, there are also plenty of picnic areas to enjoy the pristine wilderness when you’re at the top.
Overall if you are visiting Lake Louise in summer, you should really give the gondola a visit.

Excellent place to visit. Close to Vancouver city. Good parking. All day admission with most of the activities included except zip line is a great deal. We enjoy the Tram up to mountain, lumber jack show, cable chair ride, bird show, bear habitat and various talk. Great learning experience for children. Breathtaking views from the mountain and simply very beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. All day activity. Take water bottle, some snacks, hat, sun screen and enjoy. Restaurant is available on the top of the mountain which is a great option to but a little pricy as expected.
This park is a real beautiful! It's clean and brimming with beauty. You'll find a stunning river and some gorgeous falls that are a treat for the eyes. Whether you're up for a walk or a challenging hike, this park's got you covered. And there's a fun stuff for the kids too! And the views? Just wow! Every corner is a perfect snapshot. Enjoy the natural charm, and make some beautiful memories. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
The gondola trip up and down is very pleasant
The person at the helmet provided great information
The walk around nature and the four legged residents are a real treat. The humans manning the place at all stations are very nice. We had a drink watching the sunset. The whole experience was extremely gratifying. Thank you!

Beautiful parc with nice trails. I would say it's a good option for beginners and families. There are nice spots for picnics. You can rent a kayak or paddle board. However, the lake is pretty small. FYI - There are some private properties on site. The downside is that there are no point of views.
Took my relatives here and it is a nice opportunity to see the changes it has made since the last time I went. The gondola was crowded and people are looking for good window views. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. You gets views of urban and wildlife - it’s Vancouver after all which is nice. They have nice beach seats and picnic tables in most areas.
BRING BUG SPRAY - lots of mosquitoes during the summer and regretted not being prepared for that.

Highly recommend spending the day at Grouse Mountain. Make sure to watch one of the lumberjack shows.... it was a world class production and very well executed. Also take the complimentary ski lift up to the very, very top! Beautiful views! If you get hungry have a beaver tail, I recommend the classic. Great place!
Fantastic RV park. Very clean and beautiful scenery. Cool ski jump hike on site. Only downside is 30’ drive to town.
Experienced the most amazing views and scenery at Cypress! This was one of my favourite hikes for sure! It was straight up and challenging for a beginner, but the reward of jumping into the beautiful Cabin Lake made it definitely worth the effort. The water was beautiful!
Cypress Mountain is so beautiful.
But I made a mistake, I bought the ticket for the trail only, not for the rolling cart .even at the reception, they did not tell me. But we enjoyed this place. This place good for hiking.

this is the perfect resort, but braking bumps are incredibly aggressive and arm pump is an issue, but this is the case with all bike parks. Whistler truly is the mecca of bike parks.
Cypress Mountain is beautiful even in summer and a great place for family treks, or even a date. There are only a few reasons to visit: to ski in winter, or trail exploration in summer. There is also axe throwing. A recent re-addition is Eagle Coaster. That one is a treat for sure.
Parking is ample. Just note that there are about 3 different parking areas and the one closest also has a a electric charging station.
The gift shop is abysmal although it has a decent collection. It needs better efforts to drum up interest and play on the experience. The dining is unfortunately nothing great or even good, but I imagine you're here do the views rather than the food.

Great place in the nature just 30 minutes from Montreal. It has 5 lakes, an orchard, a historic mill and dozens of kilometres of trails make this park a true island of nature in an urban environment.
We saw 3 deers on our walk, chipmunks and you can do lots of activities, from paddling to canoeing. It’s very relaxing and refreshing.
I definitely recommend it for a day outdoors.

What a lovely place to run and get lost. The trails were very different from each other, and all had their unique features. The green line was the most elevation. The blue line had a combination of the yellow and green. The yellow one went around a huge lake. And the purple line was my favorite, because of how challenging it was in terms of the change in surface. I liked the rocks to the sandy more humid part of St Bruno. I would love to come here every day to go run.
This place is really worth your time. Even if you’re not a good skier, Mt Seymour accommodates you.
It was a really nice walk around the park.
It's great for the family's
Pretty decent place to bring a date.
Toke me about 1.45mins to 2h to walking around.
Would definitely go again decompress.

Unbelievable change of scenery from mild Spring to Winter weather by driving for less than 15 minute away from the city. Resort was closed when we visited but super scenic and definitely worth the drive. Roadside was covered in beautiful snow in early April.
i worked here for two months before we closed for the season. it is an awesome community of staff and customers and was an amazing experience. it is one of the only family owned ski mountains in the lower mainland and is 100% worth the experience.
whether you want to apply to work here, or are looking for a place to shred, i’d recommend this mountain to anyone! see y’all again next season!

My favorite ski resort and amazing snowboarding experience for my third years. This mountain has the best snow condition of all the mountain in Vancouver. Terrain, trails, park were splendid. Amazing city view on top of the mountain. As a photographer, this mountain has many great scenes for photography.
20 bucks entrance and rentals available on site. It's a great spot for snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. A lot of trails are available. There is a cafe on the site with a shop to buy an extra pair of gloves or clothes if you need any. Less crowded than other places, a great spot. Cheers to the nice and friendly staff as well.
Thank you, Whistler Olympic Park and your staff, for an excellent biathlon day trip. The students enjoyed every moment, and the professionalism and safety measures impressed the teachers. Your hard work and dedication provided a memorable experience, and we highly recommend your services.
I recently visited Mt Seymour Resort for a day of skiing, and while the slopes were shorter and the snow conditions weren't the best, I still had a great time. One of the advantages of this resort is that there were fewer people, so there was no need to wait in long lift lines.
The staff at Mt Seymour Resort were incredibly friendly and laid-back, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. They even played music and danced while helping visitors, which was a unique and fun touch.
Overall, while Mt Seymour Resort may not have the longest ski runs, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere made for a great experience. I would recommend this resort for those looking for a more low-key and laid-back skiing experience.

I went skiing at Cypress Mountain and overall had a great experience. The slopes were well-groomed, and the scenery was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and helpful.
However, the only downside was the price of the food at the on-site restaurant. Although the quality of the food was decent, the prices were quite high. I understand that it is common for on-site restaurants at ski resorts to be expensive, but I still found it to be a bit steep.
That being said, if you're willing to pay a premium for convenience, the restaurant is a decent option for a quick bite or a warm drink. If you're looking to save some money, it might be worth bringing your own snacks or even a packed lunch.
Overall, I would still recommend Cypress Mountain as a great destination for skiing or snowboarding. Just be prepared to spend a bit more on food if you plan to eat at the on-site restaurant.

My girlfriend and I both got early bird seasons passes for the mountain this year and it was definitely worth it! One of our favourite mountains with great views of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland! They offer over 40+ runs with varying difficulties, a couple terrain parks, lots of fun tree trails to explore and have three operating chair lifts plus a magic carpet. We ski mostly during the weekdays so the chair wait times have never been long but I can't speak for the weekend. Definitely recommend skiing here especially if you live in the Vancouver area, we'll be back next year!
I took the evolution course there. Some instructors are too young to know how to teach, just waste my time and money. But some are very nice! I highly recommend Nicole, my fourth course' instructor. She is amazing and very good at teaching. I learned a lot from her!
Great mountains and staff. When you 1st get there in morning don't let the crowds waiting to go up on gondolas scare you. Eventually the crowds spread out all over the 214 trails and I think 15 other lifts around the mountains.
Lift attendants are great and know how to keep the crowds moving.
The groomers really do a great job. Trails are waiting for you nice and groomed.
There must be a battalion of groomers and lift attendants.

Best bike park in the world! Come here every year just to ride those awesome trails. Wooden features, big drops, gap jumps, rock rolls, anything you could think of just how amazing they built those bike trails. Went to "Top of the world" for the first time, and the view is totally spectacular.
Beautiful but not very big. It’s the most affordable in the area and it’s great for beginner or intermediate skiers.
Great place to practice ski or snowboarding. Close to the South Shore, clean and not expensive. There are a few begginer trails which are perfect to practice if you are not an expert! There are teachers and volontaires as well so plenty of ways to learn and have fun. Beautiful see of Montreal island from there, stay until sunset and you will see a beautiful picture.
Had a blast at Whistler Blackcomb. The weather was mostly great (except the unexpected blizzard at the peak one day). The lifts and gondolas were smooth and even with the long lines at times, it still went quick. The runs are great and challenging.
The peak to peak gondola was great as well. You really didn’t ever have a reason to go to the base of the mountain.

Coming a lot
Very nice mountain well managed for the rental team as for the lesson team,
Very nice pub, good restaurant,
4 newbies areas (magic carpet)
The only think I don’t like is :
The weekend the place is just overbooked, crowded, is difficult to enjoy the tracks,
I think a limit need to be set for that because the mountain is not that big to receive a lot of skiers

Did 2023 first snowboard run in Seymour this year. such a beautiful day, blue sky clear view, not too crowded and blessed to enjoy the amazing sunset view!
It would be nice if there's another coffee shop or their cafe, allowing guests to just sit indoor and enjoy the view with hot cocoa!
Data reception up there is really bad tho, and def should consider upgrading washrooms

Amazing for beginners! Three magic carpets, graded in difficultly: my daughter who started skiing at age three had two friends on their lift ride an hour after they started, following the Ski Go plan. Really friendly hill. As a family we do 8-10 minute laps for a couple hours and really enjoy it!
We went to this park in August and really enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful and easy stroll in nature along a small cascade. Picnic tables everywhere to rest. There were different activity sections: the sensory path was quite a change in perspective, the artistic path had cool wooden sculptures, there was some history on the way too. A part of the park had apple trees, we picked a few and shared one with a cute squirrel.
If you’re the type of person that loves the outdoors but can’t manage rough terrains. This is the place for you. There is a small fee to enter. All the paths are easily maneuvered. They’re picnic tables everywhere to enjoy some chow by the water or on the small island. Explore and enjoy the outdoors 🌿🪵🌳🐞🐿
Man oh man. The view from the top of the mountain at sunset is amazing. 10/10 worth the grueling hike up. Had wobbly legs by the end of the trek. Good place to have a dog with you, we ended up seeing a bear near us, but the dogs kept them away.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! An absolutely amazing park with so many awesome and fun trails. My favorite was crank it up, and I eventually got good enough after a days’ practice to do A-line. I bought the day pass and got an all pass. A super adventure and I highly recommend it! I also met a lot of great people on the chairlift and the staff and are really nice :)
I was up there for the 2022 XC Nationals ski races and it was the best time of my life. The staff is really nice and the food is good the restrooms are clean and the trails are super fun the signage is super clear, there are maps on almost every trail. The race trails were marked super well to, with an official on all the crossings and major hills and turns, they also had ski patrol out by all the bridges crossing over the brooks. The biathlon range is super nice and for me being a biathlete it was really cool to be on an Olympic biathlon range. So overall this is by far the best ski park that i have ever raced in.
Nice staff, good equipment rental, for beginner, intermediate and experienced. They were open until 10pm on 18th march when I went. Enchanted forest can be explored but i didn’t check it out, just took a picture. Restaurant can be found. I liked my experience as a beginner! Cost around 70-80 with entrance and equipment rental included together.
Excellent bunny hills & slopes for beginners who want to learn skiing and snowboarding. Equipment rentals can be done in person on weekdays but must be booked in advance online on weekends. Not recommended for the more advanced and experts; they will find these slopes too easy!
Perfect for what it is: a beginner ski hill with lots of easy terrain to learn on, without being overwhelmed by long trails. The value proposition is great at $32 for two hours, and is very close to Montreal and its South Shore suburbs. Will you basically cover all the mountain had to offer in a short time? Yes, but it’ll get you ready to conquer larger hills in no time. Also solid night skiing!
A great local hill for beginner or intermediate skiers. The lines can get quite long and move quite slowly. It is the most affordable of the three North Shore mountains and their website for buying day passes has improved from last season. Try and avoid the busiest times if you want to get a lot of laps in (weekend mid-day).
Great little mountain near the city for beginner-intermediate, offering varied trails and also snowpark, magic carpet sections specialized for beginners lessons. Trails are well groomed and wide enough for boarding. Three chairlifts. Also offering flexible tickets duration and affordable price, great evening deals. There's booth to print tickets bought online, simple and fast. Rental equipements available. Strongly recommend!
12/03/2023: We came back again to the mountain on a sunny warm spring day with young kids. We thought it might be very crowded and icy but to our surprise, the snow was perfect and mountain not too crowded. It was a nice ambiance at the mountain and the kids enjoyed a lot.

Pretty awesome seeing various venues used for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Exciting and great memories for Canadians. We spent one full day in the area snowshoeing recently. Very easy to navigate to the entrance and huge parking lot. You pay for the day. The roads were well plowed despite the recent snowfalls. We did Stadium Explorer and Wetland Wanderer with our snowshoes. This totalled about 6 kms and some good elevation gains. Pretty excellent snowshoeing with great vistas and being alone within the forest. Volunteers keep the trails in good shape and we were alone quite often. You can obtain a trail map which is super helpful in navigating. Also, the centre can provide answers, food and drink.
Amazing park and awesome trails! I am relatively new to mountain biking and decided to take the “intro to park” lesson. It was super informative and our guide totally helped us hone the basics! I don’t think I would have survived if I tried to go without taking that lesson! I would highly recommend the class if you are new to the world of mountain biking!
Having come here over the years, many changes have taken place...some charm (several added wooden scuplture crafts etc.) has gone away, however, no one can question the spectacular nature found at this very easily accessible park. Entrance fee ($11.50/person for non-residents ---updated in 2023) has increased considerably, however, it is still worth the visit. Would be nice if more picnic tables and benches were placed at areas that afford the best views. Always a great place to come to, especially in the Autumn.
Top 5 location in my books. Fantastic selection of trails for all skill levels. The park speaks for itself with its world renowned trails and features.
Unfortunately due to weather only the Fitzsimmons lift was open but still had plenty of trails to ride. Particularly enjoyed Crank It Up, Fantastic etc. Would go back in a heartbeat.
This is a must for every mountain biker in the world. Staff are very friendly and helpful and everyone in the short queues are introducing themselves to other travellers from all across the globe.

A friend and I went cross country skiing here and had a fantastic time. The trails were clearly marked and well groomed. There are lots of trails for all skill levels and some where dogs are allowed. The day lodge is comfortable with rentals, a small shop and excellent food in the cafeteria!
