Favourite ski area in Colorado. It is located in a remote area with beautiful scenery and massive powder dumps. Very affordable compared to other resorts in Colorado. It only has one ski shop and a restaurant. Driving Wolf Creek pass can be treacherous - especially in snowy conditions with limited visibility.

Finally got the chance to spend a little time in Pagosa Springs and ski Wolf Creek. Very cool terrain and awesome vibe. Out of the way place with amazing amount of altitude! Totally different vibe than the I-70 areas near Denver.

Wolf Creek Ski area was great! It is a massive ski basin with a lot of runs for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate or expert, there are slopes for all of the ski levels! They even have some area for cross country skiing. The facilities are nice as well. The ski shop is large and typically busy in the mornings. The snow board hut is small but they have plenty equipment. If you can buy your lift ticket online or rent your equipment online I would recommend it. I could not during this trip. All of the facilities were nicely maintained. The bathroom was very well keep and clean for a ski resort. The hot chocolate was not very good but the hamburger was decent. Wolf Creek Ski area gets the most snow in Colorado. This year has been a 'down' year according to locals but the slopes we're still fantastic! I would highly recommend coming here.

Wolf Creek is a fantastic mountain! Smaller than some with limited amenities. How ever the snow they receive is fantastic! The most in Colorado! No joke! Friendly staff! Great tree runs. Typically no lift lines. Runs for all from beginning to extreme some great hiking available.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Ive never gone snowboarding or skiing, do i need to sign up for the classes? Or can i just go and go for it myself? Lol

Kathy Argueta | Nov 7, 2019
David Fitzpatrick (Fitz) | Nov 8, 2019

I second the sign up for classes. Even if you're relatively athletic you'll end up being frustrated and creating some pretty bad habits. Of note I've been boarding for 10 + years and everybody's first day is miserable, make sure you give yourself 2 days to get a better experience!

I'm still learning but picking it up pretty quick, are Easier runs for the beginners?

Lexie Quintana | Nov 7, 2018
Michael Kota | Nov 8, 2018

Definitely a beginner friendly place to go. They have a few lifts that slow down very slow when picking up and dropping off, but still go quickly up the mountain. Follow the main wide trails and it's perfect to learn on.
