I cannot say enough positive things about Canyon Lodge! I was there over Presidents Day weekend and it was so much fun. The views are beautiful. The Apres party was so much fun! Lots of people, dancing, and good vibes. I did a snowboarding lesson and I can't wait to go back for another one. The instructor was so patient and helpful. Money well spent. It was pretty busy and crowded, so I will say if that stresses you out, pick a less crowded time to go. Also, Other than that, it was great! read more

You don't need to be a skier to fall in love with this place. I came here during thanksgiving week and this place was popping. It was so busy that finding a seat was a little difficult. This lodge has everything for any skiers or snowboarders. It's five stories with different eateries and coffee shops overlooking the ski area. However, since it's just the start of ski season, not all businesses were open. Lots of restrooms and lockers available on each floor. There's a school to learn skiing and equipment rentals if you forget to bring your own gear. There's also mountain sports to buy souvenirs and apparel. read more

First time at Mammoth Mountain and DEFINITELY won't be my last ! I completely understand the hype of why ppl loveee coming here to snowboard now. My group & I snowboarded Saturday & Sunday here and this was probably one of the best snowboarding experiences ever :') The snow is saur FLUFFY & it doesn't hurt whenever I fall. I feel more safe to learn more techniques here (toeslide is literally the death of me rn) because of how flooofy the snow is. The mountains are steep but it's great for learning. To top it off the views are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING :') If you come to Canyon Lodge on a Friday/ Saturday they have a Mammoth Apres Ski Party and it's so much fun ! If you love house/ raving/ clubbing the apres ski party is for you -- the vibes are immaculate! Overall I can't wait to be back :') my usual resort is big bear and this is 10000x better read more

I attended the weekend Apres Party at the Lodge for the first time and I had so much fun! I went on a Friday and Saturday. It's only from 2:30pm-5pm but it went a little later on both days. It was much more crowded on Saturday. It's free to attend and there is a large parking lot. The bar line for drinks moved much more quickly on Friday. I had to wait about 30 minutes to buy a drink on Saturday but you can still enjoy the music and view while waiting in line. Wldcat was the DJ both days and he was so good! I loved every song he played. Awesome energy and vibes! I'll be back to party for sure. read more

This Is our first trip to Mammoth and we started at Canyon lodge. The Schoolyard lift is great for beginners! We started at 9:00 and got in five runs before 11:30 before it got crowded. The staff is great the snow conditions were hard despite some light snow yesterday. Nice place! read more

It was my very first time at Canyon Lodge and maybe 3rd time snowboarding, so I'm still a newbie. I wanted to do the beginner lift tickets so I can only use Lifts 7 and 17 (Schoolyard). Both were fun greens that helped me progress. We got there super early since I had a lot to do: rentals, lockers, snowboard waxed, etc. It was already getting kinda crowded due to the rain. By lunch, the inside of Canyon Lodge was PACKED. It took us about 15 min just to find seating for 2 people to eat. Everyone just wanted to be inside and warm up. Food choices were alright and basic. Nothing to complain. Chili, chicken tenders, Mexican station with burritos and bowls, Italian station with pasta and pizza, salad station. I wasn't too hungry, so the chili and cornbread hit the spot. Great place if you can get there early so you don't HAVE to do Main Lodge. HUGE shoutouts to 2 workers who were the biggest homies in helping me out - Saxton in Rentals and Cody in Repairs. I know people who work here usually have this cool, chill vibes, but these 2 were not only that, but they were professional and knew how to help me figure out what I needed. Those two helped me start my day with a more excited anticipation mood than anxious and nervous. read more

Canyon lodge is something else for snowboarding, love it here. You can just get an air bnb for a couple of days near by and just walk over then catch the gondola. They have many options for food, nice bar lounge, store etc. many many many runs. Will definitely be back. read more

Surprised Yelp didn't have Canyon Lodge listed already. I've been going to Mammoth across the better part of 2 decades and this is the newer and nicer lodge, by far. Higher ceilings, large sunny windows, escalators friendly for boots and gear, a bigger Mammoth shop, rental shop, ski school, lockers, cafeteria, rooftop seating and a hopping outdoor bar where a DJ hosts a million young dancers still in snow gear. The parking, though still terrible, is much better laid out in a larger expanse. As it was built more recently, they perhaps had more foresight in making the lot larger than Main Lodge. But still not big enough... You'll still trek uphill for a long walk even when you get here before the slopes open. Take the bus or gondola... The Canyon Lodge is one of the main entry points onto the mountain, the better route if you want to avoid the slow traffic winding down the wee little forest road of Main Lodge. You won't want to need the bathroom while stuck in this line at the end of the day. 7 lifts and the Village Gondola originate from Canyon Lodge. The Village Gondola operated from the lodge through a scenic ride to the town's village (shopping and restaurant area). The area surrounding includes quite the selection of short-term rentals, condos, airbnb, etc. The shuttle will take you to the shops (including grocery store, pharmacy, hotels) further out the main drag of the town. The town is little so the shuttle doubles back soon enough. read more

The selection of food is not super healthy. All they really had was a salad bar in terms of healthiness. It seems to be carb heavy which is not necessarily the only thing you want to be consuming when skiing or snowboarding. They had chili, chicken tenders, fries, Mexican food, grilled cheese, clam chowder, taco soup, etc. I saw that there were a lot of people drinking too who had come with ski and snowboarding gear. I find it concerning that they'd motivate drinking and ski/snowboarding (like drinking and driving) by making it so accessible. That's definitely more of a money grab than a care-for-the-general public kind of move. I tried the $18 chicken tenders and fries, and the $11 beef chili. The chili was repetitive in flavor and didn't entice you to finish the whole bowl but it was decent. There was nothing special to it. Depending on when you order it, you might get a more water-y chili. You get to add your own toppings, however much you want, build your own style. The toppings selection included crackers, red onions, cheese, pickled jalapeño slices and sour cream. There were two lines when ordering food. The left line has food packaged to be taken to-go so it's soggier. The right line has the food served for you to eat there. My sister got her food from the left line on accident so her tenders and fries were soggy. There were plenty of tables and seating for people wanting to rest or wanting to eat something. They had a hydration station which was nice for filling bottles but it showed red for the filter status and the water gushed out in a way that would get your hand wet. The water from it was ice cold and the stickers on the machine seemed to be melting off. There's an escalator that takes you from the parking lot level to the ground level for the lifts. The rest of the four stories is accessible mainly because stairs. I'm sure they have an elevator but I don't think I saw it. The restrooms are good, multiple people, big enough. The women's restroom always seems to have a line. I found a stranger's iKon pass when boarding schoolyard and I came to the ticket desk to return it. The lady there was nice about receiving the pass I had found and had informed me that the guy who had lost it had already come by earlier to print a new one. I appreciated the explanation she gave me and how nicely she responded to me. read more

I know that theft is not the fault of the resort but they should have cameras setup outside especially in the area where people put their equipment on the rack. My 11 year old son's brand new Atomic racing skis was stolen when he went in to the lodge to use the restroom and meet up with me for a hot beverage. Only his ski poles were left behind. Both skis has a big white label at the top indicating his name, my cell phone number and Snow Summit Race Team logo (because he is on the team and was at Mammoth for practice) so it's not a case of someone thinking it was theirs. I don't know what anyone can do to protect their equipment except to bring it into the restroom with them. I reported the theft to Lost and Found and local police but I doubt there is anything they can do except to note my report was filed and add to the statistic of reported theft at Canyon Lodge. read more

My favorite of the lodge/lift areas I visited during my ski trip to Mammoth! (Out of Eagle, Canyon, Mill, and Main.) It looks the most updated and modern from the outside, with multiple floors, big windows, and balconies. A plethora of food and drink options for lunch. We came here two days for lunch and got Asian food one day and Mexican the next. (Will say that the food wasn't amazing, but it was certainly decent and I was impressed with the variety of options they had.) While here for lunch, I had a view looking out over the mountain (Cloverleaf/Downhill run). Was beautiful! On Saturday, they had a DJ starting at 2pm and while I didn't partake in the dance party, it did look like people were having a really good time and getting into the apres ski. In terms of lifts and run, there are a wide variety here for skiers of every level. There are some nice greens for beginners like me off the Schoolyard Express lift, or you can take Chair 8 to ski the longer and more scenic Holiday/Pumpkin green runs to Eagle Lodge. Canyon Express is a fancier lift, probably the most updated, with a "magic carpet" boarding area and a safety bar that automatically locks if you pull it down (and then automatically lifts before then dismount area). Lot of blue/black options at the top, but also Easy Rider green to head over to The Mill area. Does seem like it's one of the busier/more popular areas, likely because it does have something for everyone here. read more

Like a fine oiled machine getting everyone their rental ski gear on time. Props to the guy who made fun of my ski socks because they were made in china and still had time to give me snowboard boots, with a nice "no they aren't too small" that hurt my toes all day. Luckily I went back later in the day and they gave me proper fitting boots. read more

Perfect base station after a long day out on the slopes with everything you need. Ski/Snowboard rentals, upscale bars, casual eatery, bathrooms, water refill station, anything you would need to feel comfortable. I dined at the 3rd floor casual eatery. It is cafeteria style meaning you grab a tray and can browse all the available options and pay at the end. There is a little bit of everything, so if you have picky eaters in your group this place will have something for everyone. From burgers, burritos, rice bowls, soup, pizza, chicken tenders, baked goods, and everything in between. There is also a large selection of canned beers, seltzers, kombucha, and other canned drinks for sale. Specials in you buy more than one! Overall, the selection is great, food is good, and a great choice if you're wanting a quick breakfast before hitting the slopes or a mid-session refill. I would say the prices are far for the convenience of being right by the ski-lifts and the portion sizes are really big, between the two entrees I ordered for my fiancé and I, we could have easily had enough food for a third person. Besides the food, the 1st floor bar is a great hang out. It is an indoor bar that opens up into the outdoor patio with heaters. Great drinks and location but be prepared to pay for it. When the DJ is playing, this place turns into a party. All in all, had a great weekend in Mammoth and this place made it so we could spend all day on the slopes. It also offers easy access to the gondola back down the mountain. Absolutely will be going back. read more

Enjoyed coming to Canyon Lodge for beginner skiing and lunch in the afternoon. It was nice that it was Friday morning and there weren't that many people, otherwise it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience if it were too crowded. Paid $30 for reserved parking, which was a bit steep, considering the signs were removed by 12pm and the attendant was no longer there - there were no in and out privileges to the lot which was a bit annoying. Skiing was peaceful on Schoolway Express, although there weren't attendants checking that folks had valid passes - some were beeping through the gates which meant they didn't have a valid pass and no one did anything to stop them. Lunch was lovely, and the food was good for a cafeteria- the chili was the best thing we had, the chicken tenders were flavorful, and the chocolate chip cookie was bigger than we should have eaten. :) All in all, a few blips but a good experience! read more

I'd like to recognize Sandy Seale of the Host Department at Canyon Lodge for going above and beyond and showing the utmost compassion and generosity to my boyfriend, Armando and I during our time of need. It was the end of our first day on the mountain and I was having trouble finding our ski-in/ski-out AirBnB at Timber Ridge Condos. This was his 1st time at Mammoth, his 2nd time snowboarding. I'm a beginner/intermediate rider. After multiple attempts of zooming down the path, I finally found the entrance to the return path, but lost the trail. We found ourselves in the woods with a beautiful blanket of fresh untouched snow. So we unstrapped and hiked around in knee deep snow, looking for our way. Armando laid his board down to take a break and off it went. He took off after it and I had a meltdown. I couldn't find him for a while and being an Emergency Registered Nurse, my brain thought as he was falling through the trees/down BlueJay (black diamond) trail without a board or helmet, he knocked his head unconscious on a rock or tree with some bloody head trauma. He didn't want to wear a helmet because it was "uncomfortable." (SIGH...irresponsible noobies...) Sandy was going down Blue Jay and found me in tears. She stopped to see what was going on and assessed the situation. We went down Blue Jay together, eventually found Armando at the base of Canyon Lodge - embarrassed, but unharmed. But the runaway board was gone. Since she happened to work for the Host Department, she was telling me the policy of losing your ticket if you lose your board. The board could also have hurt someone too. She gave us a ride home. We didn't have a car - we took the ski-out trail from our condo. Sandy had work the next morning. She advised me to check in with Lost & Found and ski patrol - no luck. She, Armando, and I spent the morning/afternoon looking around for his runaway board. Armando hiked through the area. I kept taking Chair 8 down to Blue Jay, then into the woody areas. I get a message from Sandy while I'm at the top of Chair 8. She found the board and took it to Lost & Found!!! She didn't have to help us like that, but she did. I offered her ways to recognize her kindness and to show my gratitude, but all she wanted was for me to put in a good word for the Host Department. SHOUT OUT TO SANDY SEALE of the Host Department!! A woman with a golden heart, Mammoth's guardian angel. Thank you for giving our story a happy ending. :) Melissa Lopez read more

This is a review for the ski/snowboard repair center on the second floor. Randall was incredibly helpful, friendly and fast fixing my skis.

What a nightmare! Was there last week in December. The weather wasn't cooperative during our stay...The day it finally cleared -as was expected-everyone decided to hit the trails. Ridiculously crowded, long lines for everything. Way too busy--and people just obnoxiously going about their way without being mindful of bumping into others or crowding personal space. Reminded me of the mass crowds in the subway in Manhattan during the holidays. Uuggghh! People just damn rude. My teenage daughter was bullied out of our table by grown ass men. Unfortunately, we were stuck in line elsewhere and her attempts to reach us failed due to spotty cell reception. By the time we found each other the pair who had taken the table were gone. Mind you, we saw a similar incident earlier in the day. So apparently this is a thing. Truly shameless that there is no courtesy and that grown men have to resort to intimidating a young lady. read more

Modern ski lodge. Clean! Thank you for keeping up the bathrooms, etc. Lots of outdoor seating.

I thought that Canyon Lodge in Mammoth did a fabulous job of being COVID aware. In the indoor area and at the ski lifts, all staff are constantly reminding visitors to keep masks covering both nose and mouth. By the way, goggles hold the surgical masks in place very well. You might want to carry an extra mask(s) inside a ziplock bag since the surgical masks get wet and gross over time. Food is takeout only. Rentals now start one level ABOVE the original rental shop. Initially, you show them your rental receipt and are then measured for your equipment. After measurements, you are sent to the original rental shop to get your equipment. Final equipment adjustments are completed outdoors. This method greatly reduces the crowding for the rental area. There's even a minor equipment adjustment repair booth outdoors now (plus the original repair shop is still on the second floor). TONS more kids taking lessons with instructors compared to previous years. You might want to use lifts higher up/away from the main lodge lifts during the hours of 10am-1pm. Before 9:30am and After 2pm, there were essentially zero lines. read more

The Canyon Lodge (one of the 3 major hubs at Mammoth) received a major remodeling for this season - with a very pleasant improvement: Entry via automatic doors, escalators have replaced the stairs with their at times dangerous acrobatics in ski boots and with equipment, and the whole service and restaurant areas have been rearranged. Very positive impression!! ... and most importantly: the food court - renamed into the Grizzly Court - remains the number 1 lunch spot as the variety of different food types and the irresistible pastries allow for the best and most balanced breaks for chilling and filling. PREVIOUS REVIEW: Hundreds if not thousands of guests pass every day through this lodge - one of the three main hubs to address the administrative, equipment and food loading needs in Mammoth Ski Ressort. I am sure there are folks who want to have everything even faster, but considering how many individual customers are served here in an relentlessly friendly fashion is simply amazing. Whether it is about the lift tickets, rentals, equipment repair, rest rooms, etc, the business attitude is always so pleasant, uplifting, and yet very organized and efficient. The food station on the second floor provides the most variety in the entire Ressort with multiple stations (burrito, pizza, Korean bowls, salad bar, and more) but the inevitable must are the absolutely irresistible pastries like the fruit tarts, eclairs, or custard donuts - all freshly baked at the lodge itself and so light and delicious!! read more

expensive food, most of it doesn't even meet good standards for the price grill area: burgers, sandwiches are ok. chicken tenders are always overcooked and tastes like cardboard. fries are not seasoned and also not fried properly as well. pizza area: undercooked pizza, barely any sauce on the pizza. it's a 50/50 chance to get one good pizza or one bad pizza. you are better off going to one of the pizzerias in town to get a good pizza for that price. pacific rim area: good sea food. burrito/mexican area: i would say it's in the middle. i'm very surprised that they cannot wrap a burrito properly though. read more

Time to give Canyon Lodge some props after multiple multi day visits.. definitely a fan especially after an extremely busy New year's Eve holiday weekend visit..here's the executive summary Service: I've experienced most of their services and facilities and it's been great. Everyone is Disneyland friendly that deals with Disneyland crowds Rented boards and boots: their system of getting you fitted for your gear was efficient. Snowboard school private lesson: It's very easy, show up to the private lessons area and your instructor finds you. Our instructor Madie was great, friendly, fun and we learned a lot during our 3 hour lesson. Pro Shop: My bindings weren't fitted properly initially and the staff adjusted my straps perfectly in under 7 minutes with a smile.. He didn't charge but I tipped him out, great service. Lift tickets: I purchased my online and it was an easy pickup in the main lobby. Lots of personnel were available to process huge crowds Ski lifts: You're given a lift card that you put against a scanner at the entrance and then you enter the loading area. When you get off the ski lift, the chair slows down significantly to make it easier to glide off the lift. Newbs like me appreciate that so much lol Slopes: Great design of runs with lots of options for all ability levels. You can spend hours here easily with so many different runs. Bartenders: friendly, quick and they make the drinks well at all locations. Cafe Area: Setup of different stations makes it easy to get exactly what you want an check out. There is NOT one singular line for all food stations, thank goodness. Ski/Snowboard Gift/Clothing/Merchandise Store: The store you run into if you need to buy slope essentials, cool souvenirs, apparel, etc. Great selection of things to buy I mentioned Disneyland earlier and Canyon Lodge is the Ski lodge of Mammoth: There will be lots of kids parents around because of ski school, it will be crowded as it is the lodge in the middle of the mountain, everything will be priced at a premium (lift tickets, food, drink, merchandise, etc) However in the end like Disneyland, when it's Mammoth time, there's a good chance you'll be back at the Canyon Lodge. Overall it's the best facility, with the best service that can handle the madness of the crowds. See you on the slopes! =) read more

Definitely prefer the Main Lodge to Canyon just to avoid the huuuge crowds since Canyon seems to be far busier. But, the food here is decent, if overpriced (though: newsflash, you're at a ski resort so everything will be overpriced), and even when it's pretty busy you can usually find a spot to sit without having to hover for too long. Also, while it can get super busy here, I have yet to encounter any employees in a bad mood and getting through the food check out line was remarkably fast. Wish they had a mid-mountain food spot ala McCoy's at Main Lodge but that's like the most 1% complaint ever. I strongly prefer Main Lodge to Canyon but my son really liked this area because as an advanced beginner/low intermediate skiier he said it was nice to have lots of higher level green runs that weren't super short when he got a bit tired. We did St. Moritz (advanced green) at Main Lodge a few times but to do so you have to take blue runs from the top of the lift. The kiddo can ski the blue runs but he would get tired after three or so runs so having the option to ski the decent greens at Canyon with him was a nice way to get in some family skiing time without feeling like I was missing out too much. read more

This seems to be the good starting point for beginner/intermediates, while the Main lodge looked a bit more inviting for straight up beginners. I could be wrong, but that's what we seemed to have experienced. As far as more advanced runs, this also seemed to have been a good starting point, to eventually get towards the top of the mountain. The lodge itself gets SUPER packed around lunch time, so either pack your own food and eat quickly outside, or plan on coming inside around 11am for lunch. That'll help ensure you get tables and food quickly. Or if you're not in a rush, wait until a bit later, and they open up extra tables, which are usually held for the kids ski lesson area. Overall our family liked this as our starting point for riding, and it's a good meeting spot for lunch too. read more

Canyon Lodge - Canyon Lodge rocks! - Ski Resorts Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

This is the largest lodge in the Mammoth Ski Resort and it's always crowded. Especially on three day weekends, it was a nightmare this past holiday weekend. The food is pretty decent, they have burgers, soup and salad bar, pizza, Mexican (tacos and burritos), and some type of Asian (stir fry, orange chicken, etc.). Oh and you can't forget the garlic fries! It's the same ones they have at The Mill Cafe. The third and second floor both have bars for the adult libations. My friend and I enjoy the Floating Rock Hefeweizen from the Mammoth Brewing Company and they have it on tap here. On the second floor there used to be a crepe stand but now it's gone *tear* but they still have the little snack shop with pastries, coffee, hot cocoa, and bottled waters, etc. Also on nice bluebird days they'll set up tables and lounge chairs outside. Don't forget there's also seating out on the roof. Parking at Canyon Lodge can be a pain if you don't get there early enough. It will get full by 8:30AM so try to get there by 8AM. If you want, you can pay the $20 premiere parking that's available. I'll usually find a shuttle close to where I'm staying and use that. Or you can park near The Village and take the complimentary gondola to Canyon Lodge. Good place to meet up with friends. There's wi-fi but it's not free. I have AT&T and sometimes have trouble with reception inside. So make your calls outside if you're having problems. read more

I've been coming to Mammoth since I was a child, and have never really graduated from the bunny slopes. I'm a horrible athlete, and the horror of ski day preparations--of piling into ski clothes, into scarves and gloves and goggles; of waiting around for ski rentals; of waiting in line for tickets while strapped into clunky blocks of boot; of shuffling across flat ground to get to ski lifts; of waiting in line at ski lifts, then suffering wind and cold without escape on the way up the mountain--have been enough to deter me from frequent engagement with snow sport. I skiied as a child, then switched to snowboarding for several years, before I figured out that I could spend all day inside, sleeping in and eating ramen and reading books, much like I do at home. But a couple months ago, my husband insisted on skiing, and I was forced to go with him (I had promised to do so in order to get out of skiing on a prior trip to Lake Arrowhead/Big Bear). I realized, over the course of two days, that I actually liked skiing, and that I was better at it than I was at snowboarding (never learned to carve in the 5+ years I went every year). I've been going to Canyon Lodge since childhood, and after a long hiatus, I found that the pre-ski ordeal wasn't so bad. The folks at the ski rental place were pleasant, and I guess there are now tickets that auto-scan at each lift, making lines shorter and passage easier. Since we're both beginners, we got beginner tickets and stuck to chairs 7 and 17. There was enough variety and plenty of challenge in these runs to keep us occupied for the duration of our trip. (Granted, we skiied for like seven hours total, spread out over two days.) The tickets were expensive, but at least cheaper than the full adult tickets, and I thought they were worth the price. We had a lot of fun doing the easy runs at Canyon Lodge, and I left Mammoth feeling better about myself than usual. Who knows, maybe we'll even bring our kids out here when we have them. Get them on the slopes and lead them away from the path of laziness. read more

Canyon Lodge - Ski Resorts Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

Before you complain about cost, understand that anything lodge related is expensive, it's like buying a drink at a nightclub - IT IS WHAT IT IS! Having been around the mountain, this is the largest lodge in the Mammoth Ski Resort, and it's generally crowded. Especially on three day weekends, except for this past MLK weekend, I guess the lack of snow scared everyone away. The food is solid, they have little themed areas within the dinning/kitchen area, burgers/soup, salad bar, pizza, Mexican, and Asian. A highlight is the garlic fries, which compliment a cold beer. The third and second floor both have bars, and I need to call out JR, who was awesome behind the bar. We watched the 49ers playoff loss to Seattle, and he treated our group like royalty. On the second floor they also have a little snack shop with pastries, coffee, hot cocoa, and bottled waters. Our younger skiers enjoyed a hot cocoa every day, and they were tasty! Another cool aspect is the seating out on the roof, make sure you check it out, fun vantage point. Parking at Canyon Lodge can be a pain if you don't get there early enough. It will get full by 8:30AM when it's busy, so try to get there by 8AM. Another options is to pay the $20 premiere parking and get there when you want, other options include finding a shuttle close to where you are lodging, or you can park near the Village and take the complimentary gondola to the Canyon Lodge. We also booked two different private ski lessons for my kids, and I highly recommend Andres, and Sarah Langdens - both are super with young, just learning skiers. read more

It's a huge lodge! Some stores and bathrooms downstairs. The main attraction is the cafeteria. Yes, it's pricy, but did you expect to ski on the cheap? I have to say that the food is delicious. You have your standard fare - chicken tenders, fries, pizza. But there are also interesting options like the Patty Melt, Foot long chili hot dog, Pho bowl, Mexican salad bowl. They also have an ungodly sized cup for your sodas if you want (which I got). Lunch will cost you about $20. However, after skiing, you are voracious and don't care. It's always crowded here, so seating can be an issue. You need an eagle eye to get the seats! Location is perfect between the Gondola from the Village and the Gondola to the top. read more

Not very busy during the summer months. Came here with my son to race in the Mammoth Kamikaze Bike Games. Such a great event for all ages. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Just wished they had more food offerings, but that's ok since it's very close to the Village where there are alot of restaurants. read more

It was crazy busy, but none the less staff should have been prepared. They had signs saying they had restrooms on the second floor and bar on the third floor. We walked up to the third floor, no bar. Bar was on the second floor. The bar was full so we had to wait for a table, not very long, we got lucky some guys were leaving. We sat for 15 minutes waiting for the cocktail waitress that never came to our table. So we ended up going to the bar ourselves to order. We were at the table maybe 45 minutes to an hour after ordering our own drinks, still no cocktail waitress. We seen her walk by us several times without asking if we wanted another drink, because of that we left and went back to Gomez. The bar was located in a nice area with great views of the slopes, that was all we liked. read more

Food is very expensive and is alright. I got the tostada which was HUGE and very good!! It was packed so it took a long time to find a seat. Mccoy lodge has underground seating so you will always find a place to sit and eat but Canyon lodge does not. However they do have a store that consists of clothes, sunscreen, chapstick, snowboard/ski stuff and more! Beers are $10 which is alot but definitely refreshing! read more
