Panorama Mountain VillageInvermere, BC
The biggest news for skiers this season is the addition of the new "Outback" in Taynton Bowl. Formerly heli-skiing terrain, Taynton Bowl offers skiers and snowboarders over 700 acres of wide open and naturally gladed backcountry-style terrain. Other runs and ski zones added in recent years include the Millennium run, the Extreme Zone and the Sun Bowl. Taynton Bowl, combined with these other terrain expansions, adds to the excellent selection of beginner, intermediate and advanced runs on the mountain, totaling close to 3000 patrolled acres. Recent lodging developments have further enhanced the accommodation choices at Panorama Mountain Village, increasing options for guests and buyers. This season marks the first winter that guests can enjoy Panorama Springs Lodge. This premium property offers professionally designed studio, one- and two-bedroom suites located in the upper village, adjacent to the mountain. The lodge also houses the relaxing slope-side hotpools, available for use by guests staying at any village property-a perfect way to end a day on the slopes. Set to open this spring is Taynton Lodge. Beautifully constructed in a traditional Canadian park lodge motif with stone, log and heavy timber, Taynton Lodge units are already almost completely sold out. The newest lodging at Panorama is the Riverbend Townhome project-sure to be a favorite on completion with fully equipped accommodations overlooking Toby Creek. Exquisite single-family home sites in the Forest Ridge Estates neighborhood provide opportunities to build new mountain homes along the fairways of Greywolf Golf Course. With various accommodation options, Panorama Mountain Village is affordable for any sized pocket book. All suites include a full kitchen and ski-in/ski-out accommodations. Plus when you stay at Panorama, you get free unlimited skiing, even on arrival and departure days. The Village Gondola is another recent addition facilitating the movement of guests between Panorama's upper and lower villages. This 8-passenger, high-speed, open-air gondola features six cabins with a carrying capacity of 585 passengers per hour, and is completely free of charge.
