Local Tips
About Us
The owner a former RCAF radar tech and later aircrew flew global and got the skiing bug while stationed in Baden Baden, plus a previous tour in Grontequin France (#2 (F) Wing built the first accomodation at Panorama when there was only a T-Bar and a a rope tow. There was no electricity at the time only a generator with limited power.So a coleman lantern and propane stove were essential..The road was gravel and scary with logging trucks also coyotes howling at nite and lots of bear 3 years later the chalet was pulled from the hotel area by caterpillar to a river lot by Guy Messerli (one of the original owners of Panorama),many original owners stayed in Mels cabin while clearing their lots back in 1974. From olympic champions to hippies there has been ups and downs but mostly fond memories. 2 wings have been added and despite a few scratches Marg keeps it clean and we both appreciate the number of great familys who have rented and left us nice notes of how they enjoyed their stay. As seniors with grandchildren, this makes it all worth while. Enjoy the Pioneer.
