You can very quickly locate the upper end of your abilities here without much effort. I also had a great time ripping groomers in the Lizard Bowl and we got a nice fresh dusting of new snow on my last day - I caught first chair and got some of the best early turns I've ever experienced. World class - there really is something for everyone here and the friendly locals are happy to share their favorites. Also, the food in both base area restaurants is quite good.

Overall the hill was nice but I think there are things that won't make me want to come back here anytime soon. First is I don't love that the majority of the blue and green runs are off a single chair, granted I understand that they are limited with what they have but I find for the beginner level people it is difficult to really move off the main quad chair which does move fast but is a bit of a wait. As well due to the main run being the nicest and easiest there are many many kids on it which does make the run more difficult as you try to avoid them and since you have to pass over the road it funnels people quite a lot. Second is I found the black runs were not only packed with moguls which is fine but they were very icy, and there was a lack of powder. The blacks also feel a bit unkept as they didn't seem very well groomed and not much snow to cushion. I do have to say I only went here for one day of skiing and hit about 10 different runs in the day. I did enjoy the ski out and the lines were not super long which made the day much more enjoyable!

It has very few greens and even those are blue-like in their steepness. That said, the mountain is beautiful! So natural and majestic - almost humbling to look at. The ski instruction and all the staff we met - in ticket office, rental shop, retail shop, restaurants were super warm and friendly and just seem so happy to be working here. I took 3 amazing half day lessons and went down the mountain - white knuckling sure, but eager for another ski trip sometime soon. We stayed at Northstar, which is amazing ski-in, ski-out. Sooooo convenient to jump out of bed, into your skis, and down the slope you go!

There's some great, diverse train and it's a great place for people of varying levels to go. There's challenging chutes up top, some glades on the lower mountain, a fairly new terrain part on the lower mountain, and a beginner area with a rope tow and small chairlift. One of our favourite things about Castle is that it's not overly crowded. So even though I'm giving them a good review, please don't all come out at once and crowd me off the slopes! We make sure to head out there every year and it's well worth the drive.

Our meetings and meals were in the main check in lodge area where we had a room reserved. There is a pool and a couple hot tubs which we didn't use this trip. Comfortable bed and pillows. There was no tv in one bedroom and only one station on the other bedroom tv. Living room tv worked fine and has a DVD player. One bedroom had a wall cooling unit. There is no air conditioning in the other bedroom or main area. Even with the ceiling fan in high and windows open the unit is hot in the summer. The other bedroom has no fan. The front desk will give you a portable fan of you ask for one. I would bring one if you stay here in the summer. I recommend this property and would consider another visit in the future.

Our family rented two condo/hotel rooms at the Timberline Lodge in the Balsam building, rooms 540 and 545. The rooms were very spacious and each of the two bedrooms and loft room had their own bathroom (1/2 bath in the loft), which was great because everyone had their own space. Every room, except the loft, had a TV, which was very nice too. Wifi was provided for free and the connection was superb. There was a coffee pot, slow cooker, toaster and electric kettle provided along with a fair selection of pots, pans and a couple of bowls and 1 casserole dish. The only "food" provided was 2 packages of coffee, some tea and packages of salt, pepper, sugar and sweetener. That's it. I would have wished and will recommend the hotel to offer more condiments available such as ketchup, mustard, mayo, peanut butter, jams, etc. You essentially have to bring or buy EVERYTHING for your food which is a rather big expense and inconvenience. No spices to cook with or anything, I understand perhaps this is a food safety regulation, but single serving/portion packets could easily solve this problem. I also found it odd that we were required to empty our own garbage upon check out and that they charged me $13.50 per night for a play pen and did not provide a sheet, I'm thankful I brought my own from home, just in case. There is also a condition that if they "take longer to clean your room than normal" they will charge you extra. I'm not sure exactly what this means, but I will be watching the credit card to see if they charge us extra, as the place was very tidy but I ran a small load of dishes through the dishwasher as we left. The room was quiet, we did not hear our neighbours at all, but it was very noisy if kids were running down the hallway, especially the hallway below us, for some reason. All in all, the location was wonderful, the hotel room was perfect for our family of 5 and the shuttle was very convenient to use to the hill. Jenn was wonderful and very responsive to deal with pre-booking.

Way over priced for what you get. A suit for under $200 would be a decent price but for more than…read more$300 look for somewhere else to stay. The rooms are dated and from the late 90s/2000s, which in itself isn't terrible. However the magnet door cards that can't hold the door unlock info are not. We went through 7 cards on our three night stay. Also the hotel doesn't not offer or let you know about having your room made up. With multiple people staying in a suit at the very least you think they would drop off towels and coffee, this is not the case. Even if you request to have your room made up they will not do it. If you want towels, toilet paper or coffee , get it yourself with the attitude to match. Pool is small and only one of the hot tubs was working. AC needs a cleaning as we all left with a cough and stuffy noses that went away when we were out of the room. Upon check out the staff cannot even be bothered to ask how was your stay, it's like they already know.

We had a 1 bedroom unit and it was nice but very basic. We found the bed to be very uncomfortable and it was difficult to get a good night's sleep. When we were there in June it was very quiet and there weren't many other customers. The restaurant on the premises is now called Buckhorn and Main and it is a decent restaurant. They have coffee in the lobby during the day and my husband said it is very good coffee. My husband is a golfer and we were offered a special rate if he played 1 round of golf on their golf course. I enjoyed having TV's in both the living room and bedroom. We could both enjoy our own programs in the evening.

There's the main house as well as a couple of log cabins set on over 50 acres of breathtaking mountain views. My husband and I have stayed there a few times in the last two years...we couldn't imagine saying anywhere else when we head to Fernie! We like to stay in of the little log cabins, which are cozy and nicely decorated. There's a small gas fireplace to curl up in front of after a long day on the slopes and out the window you have perfectly an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountains. Outside there's a large hot tub next to the main house as well as a nice sitting area indoors with games and movies that can be taken back to your room/cabin for the night. Sonya and Marcel are wonderful hosts...they make you feel right at home! The breakfasts are always delicious with a nice selection of different items & treats. We always leave stuffed! If you are an animal lover, remember to bring some carrots for Slider (resident horse) and give lots of cuddles to the owners friendly dogs. Birch Meadows is the perfect place to stay when in Fernie...you won't want to leave!
