Lotte Arai joins Niseko United for a double hit of Japow.

Panorama Mountain Resort, British Columbia, Canada

 

Everything that rocks about the Canadian Rockies - big vertical, big views, and big mountain vibes - can be found at Panorama. Located on British Columbia’s famed Powder Highway, Panorama offers winter enthusiasts 4,265 feet of vertical, wide-open fall-line cruisers, powder-filled tree lines, and the steep and deep exhilaration of Taynton Bowl. Panorama joins Revelstoke Mountain Resort, RED Mountain, Cypress Mountain, and CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures for some of the best access in British Columbia.

 

Access: Ikon Pass holders will have access to seven days at Panorama with no blackout dates, and Ikon Base Pass holders will have access to five days, with select blackout dates. Panorama is also available on the Ikon Session Pass.

 

Did you know: Panorama Mountain Resort is located just a two-hour drive from Banff, Alberta, and the "Big3": Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay? All three SkiBig3 resorts are proud members of the Ikon Pass community. With an Ikon Pass, snow enthusiasts get access to 5-7 days of skiing at 3 resorts in untouched Banff National Park!
