点评:Smaller resort closer to Banff, about a 20 minute bus ride. The base area is on top of the gondola although there is one narrow trail to ski all the way down (green/blue options). Gondola had a mid point stop before the top base area for the Goat's Eye lift. Fewer green and blue trails than lake Louise but has some very wide open areas with rolling hills and easy tree skiing. Pretty good for beginner/intermediates. Snow condition seems to be better although on cloudy days with the vast white expanse everything could look really flat. Lodges can get very crowded during peak lunch hours. You can't carry backpacks into the lodges (smaller bags are probably ok although it's not clear). Mountain tour starts late here at 11:45 and takes 3 hours.
Waiting for the bus is always a bit of a pain as they always get crowded and full and you have to wait for the next on even when arriving at the stop on time. The pick up times are far apart although sometimes on the return they do start loading 10-15 min before schedule and leave when full. Ski/board storage in luggage compartment under the bus, some have limited shelves some just in a crazy pile. On some smaller buses you just carry skis onto the bus. Might want to consider putting skis in a bag or get some protection for the bindings as people really jam them together with no care.
They still give out paper trail maps which is great as some map boards a too high up and difficult to see. Although doesn't seem to show how to ski all the way down. To do that you have to go past the gondola and ride the short Jack Rabbit lift up. The trail is 5 miles long green with some blue and can be hard and slick when cold and shaded.
翻译:这是一个规模较小的度假村,距离班夫镇更近,乘坐巴士大约20分钟即可到达。滑雪场位于缆车顶部,不过也有一条狭窄的雪道可以一直滑到山下(有绿道和蓝道可选)。缆车在到达山顶滑雪场之前会有一个中途站,方便游客换乘山羊眼缆车。这里的绿道和蓝道比路易斯湖少,但有一些非常开阔的区域,有连绵起伏的山丘,也适合在树林中轻松滑雪。对于初学者和中级滑雪者来说,这里相当不错。雪况似乎更好,不过在阴天,由于雪面广袤无垠,一切看起来都可能很平坦。午餐高峰时段,小木屋会非常拥挤。你不能携带背包进入小木屋(小包可能可以,但这一点并不确定)。这里的山地游览出发时间较晚,11:45才开始,全程3小时。
等巴士总是有点麻烦,因为车上总是很拥挤,即使你准时到达车站,也必须等下一班车。虽然接送时间间隔较长,但有时返程时他们会提前 10-15 分钟开始装载,满员即发车。滑雪板/单板存放在巴士下方的行李舱内,有些车厢的隔板有限,有些则杂乱地堆放在一起。在一些小型巴士上,您需要自行携带滑雪板上车。建议您将滑雪板装入滑雪板袋或为固定器准备一些保护措施,因为人们经常不小心地将它们硬塞在一起。
他们仍然提供纸质雪道地图,这很棒,因为有些地图板位置太高,难以看清。不过,地图上似乎没有标明如何滑到山脚。要滑到山脚,您需要经过缆车,乘坐短途的 Jack Rabbit 缆车上山。雪道长 5 英里,主要为绿色雪道,部分路段为蓝色雪道,在寒冷阴凉的天气里可能会变得坚硬湿滑。
