I'm from out of town and was looking for a fun day of activities with kids while others went skiing/snowboarding at a nearby resort. They have an entire campus and are very family-friendly, I could see a family spending their whole day here if they wanted to! Day passes here are such a great value ($25 per adult and $10 per child over 5) regardless if you're a YMCA member elsewhere. The pass included the following with no extra fee for rentals: tubing, ice skating, roller skating. We also could have paid extra for climbing wall ($6), archery ($6), flat tire bikes ($20), etc...but you have to schedule that ahead of time. I was really glad we came here because it was plenty of entertainment for the family and we didn't have to plan how long we'd do each activity because there were so many options all in the same campus. If you were to go tubing elsewhere it would cost $30 per person PER HOUR, so I'm glad we came here instead where there wasn't a limit to how long we did the activity for. You have to sign waiver forms first and you can pick two different sizes for tubes. You'll have to take the tubes back up the hill yourself so keep that in mind if you have little ones or are planning to do this activity first vs. last. read more

We've been coming to snow mountain ranch every year for 15 years. The activities are great and the staff are still very friendly. Hiking to the waterfall is an annual ritual for our family. But the lodgings have become increasingly disgusting in the last few years. We stayed in one of the cabins. You could smell the pet urine when you walk in. The bathroom floors were stained ?? and obviously not mopped. The carpets dusty. The microwave started to actually spark. We called the front desk for someone to come take a look or replace it...no one came. Needless to say, we left earlier than planned. It's obvious that the cabins have been neglected. I understand and empathize that there is a staffing shortage. But - Next year, we'll get more comfortable, cleaner lodgings in Fraser/winter park. read more

We stayed at Indian Peaks Lodge on the YMCA property. It is a simple place, the rooms sleep 5-6. (Six only if you have little kids). Two adult size kids do not fit comfortably on a pullout. The room was clean and our small balcony gave us a gorgeous view. There are no tv's or air conditions but neither was an issue for us. We had a lot of fun playing games the three nights we were there. We don't often have a chance to do this with all 3 kids. We did have a neighbor who was a smoker out on the balcony :( AND another one who briefly stepped outside naked (I heard her telling her small child that she was). We brought breakfast food for our room to keep the budget in line and we received passes for 2 free breakfasts at the dining hall each day. Those meals were satisfactory. We ordered a pizza at the "grill" restaurant on property and it was good. Our family had a great time with the activities we chose to participate in. We did archery, mini golf, a guided hike, the tubing hill, rock climbing, the zip line and a horseback ride at the attached stable. Some had a nominal fee attached. (Horseback ride was more). It's a bit of a hike from the lodge to the rec center and activities so we did end up doing less walking and more driving than we thought. The only challenge with this was that it was hard to just go off on your own for awhile. Great spot, highly recommended! read more

I rarely comment about anything but this place went above and beyond, was out in winter park for a wedding and my girlfriend really wanted to go horseback riding so we choose Snow Mountain Ranch! Didn't disappoint at all! Thanks for a great ride! Ryan & Jeni! read more

Yeahhhh this is five stars all day long. My family paid $65 for a day pass was was able to do as much/little of the stuff they offer (and there's tons). We chose mini golf and summer tubing. The tubing was awesome. It was so peaceful at this place. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it's cool and refreshing up here. Helps that it was sunny and 68° for the day. I highly recommend this place if you have kids and are looking for stuff for them. read more

I am writing a review on the cross country skiing. I thought it was great! A one day ticket and ski rental was 45 dollars. Total bargain! The trails were groomed, the scenery beautiful and we saw a moose! I will be back!! read more

Our family had a great time for a day of activities here. Great for all ages and it really fit our school-age and high school crowd. In one day, we did mini-golf, mountain biking, swimming, roller skating and tennis. We wished we had another day to do more! We could have also paid extra for activities like summer tubing, canoeing, zip line, and climbing walls. They did a good job with safety around COVID: requiring masks and limiting the number of people in the pool area. I saw a worker at mini-golf sanitizing the clubs. It was a really fun place with gorgeous scenery- mountains on every side. read more

Great value anytime, but especially for a ski vacation. Accommodations basic, but perfectly adequate. Lack of TV and spotty, at best, Wi-fi encourages family time. Fun pool and tubing hill. Can rent gas grill if you are staying in a cabin. Definitely rent your downhill ski equipment on property at Snow Mountain Sports. Advance reservations a must--they do sell out! Took advantage of cross country ski lessons and rented snowshoes. Beautiful scenery and lots of different level trails on the property. read more
