Wolf Creek Ski Resort offers an amazing mountain experience, but there are a few things to keep in mind. I would not recommend renting equipment from here. The employees were rude, and it took forever to get a pair of boots. For rentals, check out Ski and Bow Rack—they were much better.
Also, don’t bother purchasing lift tickets or lessons ahead of time. Even with tickets already bought, you’ll still have to wait in long lines, which is a bit frustrating.
On the plus side, the mountain is fantastic! It’s perfect for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels, with excellent coverage and most runs usually open, no matter the conditions.
A big shoutout to Paige L., who did an amazing job teaching my nephew how to snowboard. He had an awesome time, and she made it a great experience!
The resort is also just a quick drive from either South Fork or Pagosa Springs, so getting there is easy. Overall, while there were a few service issues, the skiing and snowboarding experience on the mountain made up for it.
