I’ve been here with friends and family multiple times and each trip it dumps fresh powder on us. Also, I don't think I've ever waited more than a couple minutes in a lift line here. This is definitely a smaller, friendlier ski resort worth seeking out. It’s not the most accessible location but that's what makes it special. If you... More

What I love most is the snow here for skiing, great powder and ski runs. The prices are reasonable and the lifts are not crowded. The instructors are great and friendly very helpful. Wolf Pup Ski School is so awesome. My son learned to ski here in one day. Hamburgers are delicious and the variety of food had improved greatly.... More

Great hidden treasure! During our ski vacation in January, we were very impressed with Wolf Creek Ski Resort. We hardly ever had to wait on the lifts. A lot of snow and powder the entire time with a good variety of runs. I also to a woman's ski class and enjoyed the experience and felt I received some good pointers.... More

Whether you've got little ones in wolf-pups (ages 4-9), lots of teens in group rentals, or injured folks at base camp (first aid), the staff at Wolf Creek is simply the best. They continually go out of their way to make the time more enjoyable. Having been to other similarly sized ski areas, Wolf Creek's "most snow in Colorado" is... More

I am only a blue/green run skier, so I cannot fully comment on all trails and runs found here. However, I have skied in a variety of places and have not found a friendlier ski area. The atmosphere is just so laid back and everyone on the mountain and in the nearby town of Pagosa Springs are just so pleasant--a... More

This place is wonderful! It is in the middle of the San Juan Mountains. It's beautiful and so reasonably priced. The food at the resort is fresh grilled, quite tasty and a good value for a ski resort. There are true runs of every color...good for all levels of skiiers. There is no ski village, but if I had my... More

Our first time skiing was a great experience thanks to the helpful staff at Wolf Creek Ski Resort. Thanks to our instructor "Carl" for a thorough introduction lesson. I admire the patience and helpfulness given to the entire class. Everyone we encountered, from the booth ticket sales person to the lunch counter sales person, was friendly and helpful. We are...

Before we came, I thought to myself, "How good could this place be with $56 lift tickets and supercheap equipment rentals." Answer: outstanding! We've skiied all over Colorado, but probably enjoyed this the most. It had a great variety of skiing for everyone from beginners to the most challenging 2X slopes and steep bowls. The snow is deeper and better... More

Wonderful spring powder! Minimal lift lines. Found some rude skiers this year like never before; to many peeps with bad attitudes. Overheard one man tell his young skier to not worry about who is ahead of you, just tell them to move out of your way or ski into them. The mountain was great; people could improve!

This is a great ski hill, not the largest place, but plenty of variety, easier rather than harder. They could groom more. Really reasonably priced lift tickets. Rental gear is not the best. No lodging on the hill. Stay in Pagosa.
