Thunderhill Ski Area — Attraction in Rural Municipality of Swan Valley West

We brought our school to Thunderhill today and had an excellent experience. All of the equipment that I pre-submitted was ready for our students to use as soon as we arrived to the hill. When we got there one of their representatives came onto the bus to explain the procedure to quickly gather their equipment and get their lift tickets. I had some students that didn't completely fill in their information so they had to get fitted for equipment on site and that was done quickly and efficiently. Lessons were provided for all students that we identified as beginners as well (and the instructors double checked after the lesson to see if anyone was missed). The chalet is beautiful and well set up. If you haven't been in the last couple years it is brand new and at the bottom of the hill now. The food in the canteen was home made and tasted excellent. They had a full menu available with a variety of options (I highly recommend the nachos and chili). All of the staff there were friendly, patient with our kids, and great to deal with. There is a nice variety of runs there, both in difficulty and type of terrain on the trail. I would highly recommend coming here for a class ski trip or with a family or group of friends (I also came here around Christmas and we all really enjoyed ourselves). They are also planning to install a "magic carpet" to make it easier for young kids to get up a run while they're learning to ski. Otherwise they run two T-bar lifts that are easy to use. We're already planning to bring our students back here for next...

Love this hill. A lovely winter day spent up here leaves you with a smile on your face, some sore muscles, and great memories... The new chalet is lovely. The staff is friendly, kind,...

What an awesome place. Can't wait till it opens up for the ski season....
