    Wasn't bad at all! Especially for the price. Everyone was very helpful and friendly! It was our first time here so it was very good for us! Definitely enjoyed ourselves!

    We had to best time here!! I don't know how to ski, only snowboard but the staff were so friendly and helpful on my new ski journey, love it!! Our family will be back. Maybe after brushing up on our skills a little more. This is an intermediate course. Start small. They do have a green/beginner area but it was pretty congested when we were there. Nevertheless, the staff never let it show. They were patient with all us beginners. The grill on sight was very tasty, busy but tasty. Lol Thanks guys!

    Newbies!!! The first of many ski days.

    My friends and I came here to learn to ski this weekend. My friends already had lessons booked at Winter Park but when they saw these prices, they cancelled. We rented equipment and got lift tickets for cheap! Adults (Ages 16-64): $59 - $77 per person Children (Ages 6-15): $40 - $50 per person Compared to their resorts, it's a steal. Now, let me say: THERE ARE NO LESSONS HERE. They have "Ambassadors" that will give you amazing pointers and even take pics of you. This was my first time skiing and I rocked it. These guys were all so nice and cool. I can't recommend this place enough. Shout out also to the equipment rental employees. They were super nice and informative. They gave us a great recommendation for a late lunch too. My only negative is that the ONLY slope that I could ski here is the bunny slope. The next level up was WAY too advanced for a beginner. Trust me, I tried, failed, and did the walk of shame back up the hill. If you're cool spending the day on the bunny slope, this is your spot. Now I need to find an intermediate spot so that I can learn and then come back and ski those awesome runs for a great price. I hope I'm a fast learner.

    Holy cow!! I cannot say enough positive things about the staff and my experience at Echo Mountain. The word "Hospitality" would be an understatement. I've only been once but I will be returning! The bartenders and staff were so friendly and helpful - and even when electrical problems occurred , the ski-patrol and staff rose to the occasion and exuded pure professionalism. The young man with black earrings working the ticket desk 02/20/25 was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure all us guests were safe and in good spirits! I would HIGHLY recommend Echo mountain purely for the quality of people they have working there. I lost my wallet while they were dealing with a greater situation and the staff actively seeked me out to return it to me. Truly a 5-star experience! These people care and it shows! Please give your staff a big high-five! Echo mountain will forever be a place I recommend!

    I can only review this place on the tubing zone. Since there wasnt enough snow yet, snowboarding and skiing wasn't available. 3 stars bc the staff was rude and the tubing slope was very underwhelming. They had 5, maybe 6 slide slopes. Not very steep at all. Also their food truck only had hot chocolate and candies. I also feel sorry for the people that have to clean the nasty portapotties. I just didn't have a good feel here bc I didn't feel like I was playing in the snow.

    Convenient escalator.

    We visited this place in March 2023. Well worth the drive and very family and small kid friendly. We wanted to tube and play it safe. I highly recommend it. My kids loved it. There is skiing and snowboarding in other areas. They do have a deli but we didn't try it at this time.

    The single hill

    Great for small children. There are no festive lights as they have posted on their website and it's a single smaller hill. We were told there was a lodge open that our pregnant friend could hang out in but the lodge was closed when we got there. $42 per person.

    Love love this place!! The bunny slope ambassador curt was amazing. I could never learn how to ski until I came here!!

    AVOID, when you call you get an answering machine. You can't cancel your reservation and they do NOT refund you ANYTHING.

    Great spot to get skeezy and sendy or to just take some lazy chillers. Night skiing on a pow night is absolutely magical.

    Are there ever significant lift lines at Echo Mountain? What's the longest you've ever waited there?

    Hi Lee, thanks for the question! The lift lines at Echo are very short and most of the time they're nonexistent! We typically do not have folks waiting in lift lines since we are a smaller ski area and our guests are spread out across the mountain.… Read more

    Are there lockers available?

    No, but they do have free cubbies in the lodge. Also the parking lot is pretty small so it's always a short walk back to your car.

    Is tubing open today?

    Probably

    Is their food good?

    Yes, it is amazing. Definitely try the loaded fries. The muffins are amazing too.

    First-time Ikon pass user here whose trying to snowboard more often instead of once year. We…read morevisited this resort because it was a short drive not too far into the mountains. The were multiple staff members directly traffic upon entry and helping folks find parking. We arrived despite a severe weather warning and it was windy with white-out conditions among the trails. As a result of the weather, the beginner trails were shut down. The only trails available were Intermediate and Black Diamond. As a beginner-intermediate snowboarder I was a bit nervous. We decided to take a run. Lines moved quickly and the lift was speedy as well. They had maps clearly posted and large signs reading "easiest way down" to mark the path in the low visibility. The staff was frequently running through the trails to check on folks and make sure they were doing ok. I myself began to struggle and feel fatigued when a staff member by the name of Kathy stopped me. She helped me rest and make it down to the base with encouraging words. She helped me find my husband on the trail after we got separated in the white-out and stuck with us to make sure we were alright. By the end, my legs were fried by the challenge but with her help I made it to the bottom. I'll be visiting again when I'm more in shape and surefooted. Kathy's help was so appreciated. The facilities were clean and well stocked, but the big pull for me was the clearly marked information and wonderful staff. I even saw some folks get stuck in the snow and the staff was helping them fit their tires either snow chains. Above and beyond, they are amazing. See you soon, Eldora.

    It's definitely lost its charm. I don't think I'll ever bother ever trying on a weekend again. It…read morewas so overwhelmingly crowded and skied out (despite fresh snow) that I just left and went to winterpark where I never waited more than 5 minutes for a lift. It's a shame but it just doesn't seem capable of handling the crowds it gets. Even if 70 is rough you'll get more skiing elsewhere despite the extra traffic time Come on a random weekday and the lines are fine, but expect some east coast style ice because of how hammered it all gets every weekend. At least it doesn't have the crummy bougie-ness of other places

    Winter Park is always a blast! One of my favorite mountains I've been to…read more I heavily recommend the Mary Jane side of the mountain, especially for fellow snowboarders. Less moguls, usually less traffic, and some opportunities to play in the trees. The folks operating the mountain are always kind and on solo days I seemed to find new friends on the lift ride to the top. Friendly folks all around. Stay safe. Have fun. And shred on!

    My impressions of this park are probably impacted by the fact that they desperately need snow. (As…read moremost ski resorts out here do). However other factors also influenced my impression. They need better access to maps, both the posted sign size and paper maps. For example, a trail map at bottom of each lift and at top of lift would be good too esp when more than 1 lift ends at same location. And why not put a map of ski village buildings on the trail map to help with orientation. I wish they would have groomed the trails more so in the morning so snow would have been fresher. It just seemed to make it more icy by grooming at night. Since many trails were closed people were condensed into those trails that were open. Squeezing more people into a smaller area will course make lift lines crowded but also puts more traffic on the slopes. The lift lines were absolutely ridiculous on the weekend. I didn't pay that much for lift ticket to repeatedly stand in lift line for 20 minutes. Also it would have been nice to have an increase in ski patrol monitoring some of the trails to discourage the aggressive behavior including the boarder who purposely ran into me and knocked me down. (When they laugh and keep going you know it was on purpose) We purchased lift tickets months ago so I don't remember the details of the process except that it wasn't straightforward. I ordered lift tickets for both myself and my husband so assuming I did the same thing each time but no he got a pass with early up access and I didn't. Weird. Okay here are some positives: I do like the availability of restrooms throughout the resort including up on some slopes. That is very nice. I appreciated sharing the slopes with amputees and individuals using wheelchairs. It is nice to see the inclusivity. I also really enjoyed going up to Sunspot lodge in the evening for sunset. That was very fun.

Rooms were clean and well maintained, and had all of the basics you would need. Everything related to a ski day was nice here - had storage for skis and boots so that you didn't have to bring them to your room. In the morning they have a nice spread for breakfast including fruit and cereal, and also have some hot items including eggs, toast, sausage, and bacon. Definitely enough to get you fueled and ready for the day. Then there is a van they run that takes you right to the gondola leaving at 8:30, 9, 9:30. Taking the first van gets you there right for the start of day. And you don't have to worry about parking, walking, and paying at the resort. Rides back were at 3:15 and 4:15 which gave plenty of time at the mountain. I didn't get a chance to try the hot tub but it looked nice. There were some cozy spots in the lounge with fireplaces to sit and relax. And a ping pong table that a few kids were using to stay entertained. Parking here was convenient, and the location is good; very close to everything in Winter Park. Overall I was very impressed with this stay. I will definitely look here first when looking for a place to stay in Winter Park moving forward. I thought it was a fair value, and the amenities made for easy ski days where all I had to do was get dressed and show up to the van on time, and not worry about anything else.
