Great place for skiing and snowboarding! The slopes are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is perfect for both beginners and experienced skiers. The views from the top are amazing, and the lodge is cozy for a break between runs. Definitely a great spot for winter fun in Cape Breton! Let me know if you’d like any changes!
It was awesome I’m 13 got rentals and went down a bunch of hills with my friends it was my first day but I was taught well and ended up going down eagle, spread eagle.
These innovators enriched the life on our island, enabling thousands of families to have outdoor fun and recreation. The school programs have brought the opportunity to ski to many children who would not have had the opportunity to learn without this initiative!
Great little ski hill. Runs that are open generally well groomed. Great views of the Bras Dor Lakes. Apres ski has great CB beer on tap and good food.
Great spot for some skiing. It's nice and close to Sydney and it's a good hill for beginners. An actual advanced skier would not use this as a destination ski spot, but in a pinch any port in a storm.
Good ski facility, with all services that anyone would need for a ski day. Our instructor (Sofia) was very friendly and patient with us. The equipment rented was fine, and we enjoyed Bonnie Hill. The burgers are basic (not salad or anything different than meat and bread), but other dishes look nice (i.e., hot dogs). A suggestion for beginners: the other 'easy' run (green circle) is really hard and steep. There is not a map with the runs on the website.
Fun and challenging golf course with great views of the bay and surrounding area. The staff was excellent and friendly. Google recommend.
I love Ski Ben Eoin. Different though with Covid. Always beautiful there. Great staff!!
