Same weather, and snow conditions as Red Mtn. Over 4000 acres of terrain make it impossible to ski everything in a day. If you go here, plan to spend some time. You'd be better to stay cheap in Camrose or Calgary and commute. This place is the wickedest in the Rockies or anywhere that I've seen for that matter when it comes to powder.
Waist deep is the norm at summit.
You take a gondola up to the lifts which are high in an apline meadow setting. The wind can bite quite a bit. Dress warm with layers you can pull off throughout the day. The ski out is a gas at the end of the day. The new Goatseye Mountain area really improves skiable area.
