点评:Our family of four spent New Year’s Eve with all day ski passes at Hatley Point. After researching all the ski resorts in the area, we chose this one for the boutique appeal and small crowds. It did not disappoint.
We arrived at 10am and found service and the rental process smooth and friendly. Having to go back to the front desk for a locker was a pain but minor issue.
Not all slopes were open but we knew to expect this and was glad to still have fresh snow on the mountain from the day before. Three greens and a blue trail was enough to keep us busy for one day. Longest we waited for the lift was maybe 5-7minutes.
My only complaint would be lack of seating area and ski racks. An employee told us it was the busiest they had seen this season. Families were camped out for the day at tables and couches. We opted to drive 15min to the Little Creek Cafe to sit and relax with a hot meal instead of fighting for seats at the cafe. I would’ve loved to try out the restaurant but it didn’t open until dinner and hosted a NYE bash that evening.
The slopes reopened around 5:15 for night skiing which we really enjoyed. Felt like we had the slopes to ourselves. Could ski down and right back onto the lift. Look forward to returning on another winter break to see what additions and improvements they’ve made.

我们早上10点到达,发现服务和租赁流程都很顺畅友好。虽然需要返回前台取储物柜有点麻烦,但这只是个小问题。
并非所有雪道都开放,但我们事先有所准备,而且很高兴山上还有前一天刚下的新鲜积雪。三条绿道和一条蓝道足够我们玩上一整天。我们等缆车最长的时间大概也就5-7分钟。
我唯一不满的是座位和滑雪板架不够。一位工作人员告诉我们,这是他们本雪季见过的最繁忙的一天。很多家庭都占满了桌子和沙发。我们决定开车15分钟去小溪咖啡馆(Little Creek Cafe)坐下来享用一顿热腾腾的饭菜,而不是在咖啡馆里挤来挤去找座位。我很想去那家餐厅尝尝,可惜它要到晚餐时间才开门,而且当晚还举办了新年派对。
雪道大约在下午5点15分重新开放,可以进行夜间滑雪,我们玩得很开心。感觉整条雪道都属于我们,可以滑下来直接坐缆车返回。期待着下一个冬季假期再来,看看他们又增加了哪些设施和改进。
