Snow King Mountain Resort

It was our second time taking a beginner lesson ever, and our first at the Snow King. Franz was the perfect instructor for us. He reached out before our lesson to gauge our previous experience and learn about our hobbies and goals. He used these details to craft a tailored private lesson. Most importantly, he had us practice boot work without skis. This really helped reinforce good form when we put the skis on. Unfortunately, the gondola was down while we were taking our lesson. But we took several trips down the bunny hill at the base of the mountain. We were even mastering turns through cones by the end of the session. Franz had great tips to incorporate breathing, which helped us focus and remain centered. He's excellent at skiing backwards and getting great videos, too! With our newfound confidence and the gondola running, we took also took a couple trips down the magic carpet at the Snow King summit. 
We can’t wait to put our new skills to use at other ski mountains.

Had a great winter vacation at Snow King. Next door to non-skier friendly activities such as snow tubing, cowboy coaster, and gondola ride. 15 mins walk to the town square with many restaurants to choose from. Tips: Resort fee is a bit steep. Make sure you plan early and book airport shuttle and Teton village shuttle way ahead of time to maximize the benefits. We also enjoyed the S'more night on Wednesday. The hot tub, however, was a bit crowded in the late afternoon - evening.

We stayed 5 nights from 12/21-12/26/21. We loved the close proximity to the skiing, tubing, restaurants and shopping. They offer a shuttle, we didn’t use it though. The hot tub was nice to soak in after a long day. I also adore the fact that they allow pets for $25 a night. Gabriel at the concierge is fun, friendly and helpful! The resort has plenty of fun activities for kiddos. Hot chocolate by the fire, s’mores by the fire, decorating ornament and cards. Santa came and there was a lady who came and sang in the lobby. Skii rental onsite along with snow tubing! Make sure you visit Astoria Hot Springs only 20 minutes away and dine in for the best sushi experience at Kampai just 4 min away. The two restaurants onsite Hayden’s Post was good service and food and so was Snow King Grill. Ordering room service was a nice feature as well! I would change my 4 stars to a five if our room was cleaned while we were there for 5 days or if they offered a discount on the room since they aren’t having to pay someone to clean it. Even if they came in once to freshen up the place and restock items or ask if we needed anything. I did end up sweeping our place with the workers broom. I know for covid and staffing reasons they didn’t clean, which is hard to take away a star. An alternative solution would had me giving them a 5 star review! This is my opinion… I felt heating the pool is pointless, no one used it. My kids did as dares to each other. Even though it’s a heated pool, it’s too cold in the winter time. They were out of pool towels when we soaked in the hot tub, but provided us with bath towels as a quick solution. We really did have an amazing time!

We where a little early for the mountain to be fully open but where able get some time in on the Cowboy Coaster, it is awesome! We had a blast, I think in total we rode it 20 times. The staff are great and had fun interacting with the kids. The kids were able to get a lesson and ski on the bunny slope in front of the resort. We could not get them off it, they closed down the slope 2 nights in a row. The staff at the ski school are amazing and the staff at the ski rental are just as amazing and they are all great with kids. Can't wait to get back next year.

We had a wonderful experience at this resort. We booked ski and snowboard lessons for a single day. My older sons had Dylan, who was absolutely outstanding. They had so much fun, they asked to go back the next day and work with Dylan again. I messaged Dylan and he worked with his manager to accommodate my kids again the next morning. They were thrilled! He got them down the slopes multiple times safely and with improvement each time. Franz supported ski lessons for myself and my youngest son. He did great working with a big age difference and got us both comfortable on skis! He was friendly and personable and easy to work with. My big boys are already asking to go back next year and take more lessons with Dylan!
