About the Resort
About Panorama
Panorama Mountain Resort, nestled in the spectacular Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, is renowned for its incredible 1,300-meter vertical drop—one of the largest in North America. Despite its massive terrain, the resort maintains an intimate, pedestrian-friendly village where almost everything is ski-in/ski-out. The atmosphere is exceptionally relaxed and welcoming, making it a favorite for both families and serious mountain enthusiasts.
The Resort
The skiing offers a fantastic dual personality: the lower half is packed with wide, perfectly groomed corduroy ideal for beginners and intermediates, while the upper mountain and the famous Taynton Bowl provide expansive, backcountry-style chutes and glades for experts. This former heli-ski terrain is entirely avalanche-controlled and patrolled, giving advanced skiers thousands of acres of deep powder to explore.
Beyond the slopes, Panorama is famous for Canada's largest slopeside hot pools, where guests can soak their tired muscles while watching skiers carve down the final runs. With RK Heliski operating right out of the village base and a growing network of fat biking and Nordic trails, Panorama serves as a comprehensive hub for Canadian winter adventure.
On the Mountain
Panorama's terrain progresses naturally as you climb higher, starting with gentle learning slopes near the village and evolving into long, fast intermediate cruisers off the Champagne Express. At the summit, the mountain transforms into an expert's playground, highlighted by the steep, deep, and untracked lines of the massive Taynton Bowl.
Purcell Mountains, British Columbia
The Purcell Mountains run parallel to the Canadian Rockies, famous for their spectacular jagged peaks, deep interior snowfall, and expansive alpine bowls.
