School ski trips to Panorama
Situated in stunning British Columbia, Panorama ski resort offers almost 3,000 acres of fantastic skiable terrain for all abilities. Here, your group can benefit from quieter slopes with one of the best ski schools in Canada, allowing for speedy progression as they speed down everything from tree lined blues all the way up to black diamond trails. Kick back in the evenings in the purpose-built, pedestrianised Panorama village, where hot pools can soothe sore muscles from a day on the slopes.
Features
An exceptional resort for beginners due to its dedicated learning area and quiet slopes, Panorama has groomed blue and green runs in abundance – allowing for easy progression among your group’s less experienced skiers. Meanwhile, advanced skiers have plenty of trails to enjoy too, with an extensive range of black runs as well as the mountain’s thrilling 4,265ft near-vertical drop.
The ski area combines the perfect mix of tree-lined trails and open bowl skiing, with the terrain divided into 20% beginner, 55% intermediate and 25% expert, so all levels are well catered for.
