Let’s talk about Panorama! It is such an underrated slope. From a skiier/snowboarder, I would recommend this hill for so many reasons. Panorama offers great snow quality, unmatched views, and quick lifts. If you’re looking for a spot this winter, I highly recommend booking a room with some buddies!
