I had a mixed experience at Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort. While the skiing and accommodations were decent, the service left much to be desired, particularly regarding ski lessons and staff helpfulness. Overall, it's a fun place for families, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at Sipapu Ski And Summer Resort. The skiing was affordable and suitable for beginners, offering a decent variety, but the facilities and lodging left much to be desired. The friendly staff and lack of lift lines were definite highlights, while the limited dining options and outdated accommodations were noticeable drawbacks.

I stayed in a Riverside cabin that was cozy for my family of four but in need of repairs; one heater didn't work, and hot water ran out quickly.

The four-bedroom unit I rented was quite old and in need of maintenance; there was even a broken window covered with cardboard, which was a real downer.

The ski lesson sign-up was a hassle. Waiting in the cold with my kids for over an hour and a half just to secure spots was frustrating, and the instructor we got was not up to par at all.

The resort is really in a stunning area, close to the ski lodge, which made it easy to get out on the slopes. The views were fantastic, and the lift ticket prices are super reasonable.

The restaurant was only offering take-out when I was there, which was a bummer. But I did enjoy their green chile pork stew; it packed a spicy punch! Still, the dining area could definitely use some updating.

The resort had some basic facilities, but things like the bathrooms really needed better upkeep; some were downright unsanitary, which was off-putting.
