Sundance Resort

Sundance Resort

At Sundance Resort the lifts sit close enough that skis go on in the lobby, then the same 156 rooms empty out through summer for guests going hiking, fishing, and horse riding instead. Accommodation runs across studios, cottages, and apartments rather than one floor plan, including an accessible king room, close to Ray's Ski Lift, Handle Tow Ski Lift, and Sundance Ski Resort. Dining spreads across the Tree Room, Foundry Grill, Library Lounge, and Owl Bar, with a bar and snack bar for guests skipping a full sit-down meal, and breakfast available for those who want one. The spa runs massage and sauna treatments, there is a yoga room and fitness facilities for guests training rather than recovering, and a garden and picnic area for slower afternoons. A conference hall and meeting rooms handle business groups, and staff fluent in English and Spanish cover both leisure and work travellers. Pets travel too, for a 100 dollar deposit, and the resort desk arranges airport transfer for 110 dollars one way and early check-in or late check-out for a further 100. What separates this resort from a standard ski lodge is the range, ski school and ski storage sit next to horse riding, cycling, and fishing, so the calendar does not empty once the snow does. It suits travellers happy trading a hotel tower for a freestanding cottage or apartment, with room service and family rooms for guests travelling with kids. It will not suit anyone after a single-season ski chalet with little to do once the lifts close. Check-in runs from 4pm, checkout by 11am, built for longer stays than one night. Skis go on in the lobby at Sundance Resort, and the recreation list, horse riding, hiking, and fishing, keeps running once the snow melts. Its 156 rooms include freestanding cottages and apartments, not just hotel floors, and pets stay for a deposit.
