Montage Mountain Resorts

"This is a really nice resort! From Slides in the summer to slopes in the winter. The place was packed but I love to see it. We did stop in at the lodge bar to grab some suds and unfortunately it was an hour wait. My only complaint would be they rented out half the bar and seating for a party reservation at the high point/peak of the day. No suds for us."

"Went for a few hours on a Saturday morning in January since we were in the area and It was on our Indy Pass. Ski conditions were good and they had a variety of terrain for all levels. Lifts never had any lines but they are some of the slowest lifts I have been on. The parking lot is one of the worst parking lots for a ski area. One has to walk down flights of stairs to get to the lodge or main lift area. There are no parking lot attendants directing traffic or organizing the parking, it is a free for all. As we were leaving midday people were parking wherever and cutting off aisles and triple parking. Be warned you might not be able to get out. The drop off area is still above all the stairs you have to take to get to the lodge so it could be difficult for family's with young kids and all their gear. We normally boot up in the parking lot but with the long walk and multiple flights of stairs we decided to boot up in the lodge. The lodge seems new but it is horribly laid out. Not enough table for the space/size or crowd size. Tables are way to spread out and half are high top tables that aren't great for getting you gear on. Adding to the crowded lodge was the large school group that brought their skis and boards into the lodge. They had a single register open for food and the line for it ran across the lodge and almost out the door. The few staff we did come across were nice. I probably would only come back here if I was by myself and did not have to use the lodge as the actual skiing was enjoyable. Though would still be worried about getting stuck in the parking lot."

"Not a big fan! Communication/equipment and snowboard lessons here are definitely sub-par! I bought combination(lift/lesson/rental) tickets online. That was easy enough. I then called to add another lesson. I was told that I didn't need to buy a snowboard lesson ahead of time and that I didn't need to worry about there not being enough room for one more student - I was told to just show up. We showed up, and I was told NEVER to do that! If they didn't have enough signed up for lessons, there might not be an instructor that day! Well, we lucked out and were able to get the lesson, thankfully. Onto the rentals. The boots were soaking wet, and the snowboard boots were so bad that there were holes in them - letting the water in all day long. Maybe that's not a problem on snowy days, but it rained this day making things super uncomfortable! Back to the rentals. They gave a 5'8" person longer ski poles than they gave our 6'5" skier! Both were first-time skiers and didn't know better. Really? The folks inside giving out equipment definitely should've known better. We were also told to make the ski school our first stop when we showed up. It's a shame we couldn't find a sign anywhere pointing to it ! As far as the lessons- ski lessons were good. Snow board lessons were lame. They never even showed them how to get onto the chair lift! Is this normal? The lodge was homey, warm and nice. Maybe this is a decent place to ski if you dont need lessons or equipment rental."

"Visited Montage for the first time last week with my nephews school ski club. It was just under a 2 hour drive from the Harrisburg area, but well worth the trip for a great mountain at unbeatable prices. The ski club, group discount (without rentals) was $30. Unfortunately, we’ve had a lackluster winter so far, but the staff did everything possible to make sure snow was down in as many places as there could be. 5 trails total were open, with 2 lifts running, and it made the day enjoyable… obviously more trails and more lifts would’ve been better, but for the price it was still well worthwhile. Food and drinks in the on-site restaurant were excellent and well priced as well. Will be back, with hopes of colder weather!"
