Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community May 20, 2003
Pros: Size & variety of the hill, nice (but small) day lodge, skiing quality
Cons: Not much in town, location/road condition, still being developed
Summary: First off, Panorama isn't great yet, but in a few years I know it will be one of my favourites. It was recently acquired by IntraWest, who are responsible for the development of Whistler/BlackComb and Mont Tremblant, two of Canada's premier ski resorts. ... read more

Pros: good accommodations, friendly, good instructors, good runs, awesome winter vacation!
Cons: you have to leave eventually
Summary: I went to Panorama with my family a couple of years ago and it was one of our best vacations! The Silver Lodging Units are townhouses located right at the base of the mountain and you can ski right down to your front door or to the outdoor hot tubs. ... read more

Pros: Good skiing if the conditions are in your favour; ski in-ski out accommodations.
Cons: Unprecedented check-in delays, absolutely no effort at customer satisfaction
Summary: When we checked in at 5:00 on a Monday evening, we were informed that our condo wasn't ready, and wouldn't be until 7:30. Reception sent us off to "enjoy" pizza and warm pop, while the groceries that we had purchased for dinner ripened in our parked car. ... read more

Pros: No lines for the lifts, plenty of space, good range of runs, not crowded
Cons: Out of the way. Not too much nightlife
Summary: An out of the way little gem stone. Great runs, sometimes these runs are all yours alone.
Outdoor hot pools big and great. If staying for 7 nights just about enough to keep you interested with the nightlife. Nearest place Invermere about 12 miles ... read more

Pros: Bountiful Powder, variety of runs, scenic, fun
Cons: location, nightlife
Summary: Panorama is has the best snow on the West Coast. I know because I go to most of the major resorts in the Rockies each year during the Winter. In terms of skiing, the conditions of snow and variety are on average better than those of Whistler, ... read more

Pros: Great mountain, great snow, small crowds
Cons: Out of the way
Summary: To be honest, Panorama was not our first choice when we were planning a ski trip to the Canadian Rockies. We found our top choices (the obvious - Whistler/Blackcomb, Lake Louise, Banff) booked up, and ended up booking a timeshare unit in Invermere, BC, ... read more

Pros: Terrain, Heli Ski, Powder, Ski School, Employees
Cons: Night Life, Expensive Food, Drinks and Accommodation
Summary: You can find it here...Fresh powder all day. Panorama is the best kept secret in the Canadian Rockies. If you are looking to do some serious skiing then this is the place. The "no frills" of the resort world. With the second highest vertical in ... read more

Pros: snow, exclusivity
Cons: cold
Summary: As a kid I visited this great ski resort many times. The ski school is
excellent for those first timers. This resort has the creme de la creme
of skiing, entertainment, food, and overall good time. Like most well
known ski resorts it ... read more

Pros: scenery, golf course, kid friendly
Cons: hard and icy skiing
Summary: I've visited Panorama on dozens occasions and the scenery still takes my breath away. I would recommend Panorama in the summer, but not for a ski trip due to the snow being extremely hard packed and icy on most occasions. The area is known for not
