Panorama was no doubt a great mountain, but it definitely wasn't my favourite. My family went family day weekend 2017, apparently right before we got there it snowed a lot, warmed up then got cold, and those aren't typically good conditions for skiing. The snow when we were there was more or less below average, it was icy, packed snow and lots of ice cookies (big clumps of ice). But in Taynton it was pretty good, nice and powdery. After a long day of skiing you just wanted to relax, shower and then get out for a nice evening. If you are looking for a resort where after the day you can go hang out and have something to do, this would not be for you. The town is absolutely horrid, not horrid in a gross un-kept kind of way, horrid in 'there's nothing to do here' kind of way. There's nothing really to do other than a few bars or restaurants. Overall I think my experience here wasn't the best, the hotels were great but the skiing conditions and the town wasn't all to good. If you're looking for some good skiing come here, but if you got a bunch of relatives or a big group looking for things to do, I would stay away.
