This is one of the world's great ski destinations. Our family had two of the best days in many years of skiing together. Also great food options at midmountain and the top if you have the $$. Two drawbacks: 1. Not enough lifts-- most of the mountain is accessible by one lift, the gondola, leading to well over an hour (particularly in COVID times) spent waiting in line. 2. The new ticketing system. We were a group of 4 skiing on two days. Apparently their new system can't simply issue 4 passes associated with one purchase number. We had to buy 8 individual passes (in order to use our RCR card) which all look the same in your email and to the ticket guy. It took the poor guy almost 10 minutes to print them out, while a line waited behind us (only one window open). Then there are 8 individual receipts for the tickets incase you lose one. When my daughter's pass came unglued, it took 45 minutes to figure out which one was missing, and the frustrated woman helping us got upset at us for having lost it. I get that new systems have kinks-- this one is almost all kinks from a skier point of view. Hope they can fix it.…

What to say about KHMR that hasn't already been said? It's one of the big reasons I moved to Golden. So there's that I suppose. Winter is the season for me, but summer is cool too. One critique one will hear from time to time is that their could be a few more lifts, but those don't come cheap. Once you know the mountain, and if you're willing to hike a bit, there's almost always good snow to be found. The terrain is world class. Period. Great staff, too. the lifties are pretty much always upbeat and friendly. Double Black is my favourite spot if I want a bite and its awesome. Not your typical ski hill chow, that's for sure.…

Thank you for coming to check out our mountain! The views from the top of the gondola are something special, hey? Amazing. Glad to hear you enjoyed visiting Boo and the Grizzly Bear Refuge. We hope to see you up here again soon!

Came here to do the Grizzly Bear Refugee. The tour guide wasn’t really friendly, no enthusiasm and not much sense of humour. Very monotone too which didn’t make the tour very exciting. Especially when there was no enthusiasm... So was very disappointed in the experience. Unfortunately Boo Bear did not come out so they gave us a voucher to use for a future visit... Which means we have no choice but to come back... I wouldn’t mind seeing the bear but to listen to the tour guide again I don’t really want. Also when we went back to the base to get our voucher the lady working at guest services was extremely rude to my boyfriend and I. Didn’t seem pleased that she had to give us a rain check. Not very happy with this service and experience. Not sure if I even want to go back...…

We decided to do the whole adventure pass at the mountain. Unfortunately we arrived a little late for our visit to Boo and missed him, but the information and talk from the guide was super interesting and we did get to see him really well on our way up the gondola a little while later. The views from the top are amazing! Unfortunately a completely unrelated injury made it difficult to do much hiking, but we'll be back. Lunch at Eagle Eye exceeded our expectations. The views were unbeatable and the food was excellent!…
