Skiing at Manning Park is top-tier. While it may not compare to a Whistler, the prices reflect that.
The mountain is bustling with all the amenities of a typical ski area, plus more. If you are a beginner, you can rent skis or even take lessons. Throughout the day or week, you can progress from the gentle bunny hill to the more tough mountainside blue or black routes.
