ON-MOUNTAIN FEATURES

Taynton Bowl

Expert skiers and riders will enjoy the backcountry style skiing in Taynton Bowl, which offers over 1,000 acres of wide open and naturally gladed chutes, ridges, and valleys. “Until 2001, Taynton Bowl was exclusive territory for rk heliski, and a skier had to shell out a cool grand for the bowl’s 1855 vertical feet of glades, chutes, and gullies.  Now for a mere lift ticket and three quad rides, the wind-loaded basin is yours” Evelyn Spence – Skiing Magazine.

Showoff Terrain Park

The main terrain park runs the entire length of Showoff, directly under the Mile One Quad and in full view of the village. Panorama now has the biggest and best terrain park in the Canadian Rockies region.

Small-Medium Terrain Park

Panorama's Small-Medium Terrain Park is just a few steps from the village. It features easy jumps and rails for novice freestyle riders and is lit for night skiing and riding.

Night Skiing

On weekends, the Toby Chair is open for night skiing during select times of the season.  Riding is free with valid day lift ticket.
