Kirkwood ski resort has benefited from a good level of investment over the recent years and is now a haven for free-skiers and boarders with some great off-piste terrain to explore.
The ski region is varied and really does offer something for every skier ability level. There is a good range of dedicated slopes for beginners, testing chutes for the experienced and some great intermediate slopes for those who have found their ski feet.
Kirkwood sits at a high altitude (2377m) and has an altitude range of approx. 600m which ensures ski conditions are good throughout the season.
The lift network is mostly modern and efficient and cope with the volume of skiers well.
Kirkwood is also a great location for cross country skiing.
The resort itself is positioned at the bottom of the lift network and so easy access to the slopes every morning is assured. All the facilities are close to the lift. Although, not large there are plenty of slopes bars and restaurants to keep everyone entertained and apres is available for those who are looking for it.
