Invermere Skiing (Downhill)
Skiing at Panorama Mountain Village, Scott Rowed photo
It would be tempting to conclude that Invermere locals are absolutely spoiled when it comes to skiing - and likely other things too. After all, how many people can choose between two ski hills, both of which are within a 30-minute drive? Panorama Mountain Village Panorama Mountain Village Resort gets an annual dump of 479cm/188in of the white stuff, and if that's not enough, they can make snow too. Lifts operate right out of the village, carrying skiers and boarders 1220m/ 4000ft through space to the top of the mountain. Below this dizzying elevation of 2375m/7800ft, the resort maintains an amazing 120 trails and bowls, and two terrain parks. Only 20% of the mountain is suitable for beginners, with 55% intermediate/advanced and 25% expert.
Built to sleep up to 3000 people, Panorama Mountain Resort is almost as large a community as Invermere itself, and it has the facilities to support its population. There are hot pools, a spa and a resident physiotherapist to help soothe tired muscles, and restaurants and bars to nourish and entertain at the end of a day on the mountain. The resort even has its own retail shops, including a grocery store.
Equipment rentals are available at the resort, and can be booked with accommodation in advance of your stay.
Fairmont Hot Springs With terrain signage that is more blue/green than black, Fairmont Hot Springs is very much a family ski destination. Enjoying a sunny, southwestern exposure, the lodge is situated at the base of the hill, at 1280m/4200ft. From there, a triple chair and a platter lift service the mountain, which has about a dozen runs. Rentals and lunch are available at the lodge. The price of a lift ticket also includes admission to the Fairmont Hot Springs pool for a welcome soak after a day on the mountain.
