    1st time skiing and this was the perfect place to do it.  They have a small bunny hill that got me on my feet and down the hill after a few tries.  Theres about 5 or 6 snowboard/ski hills to choose from.  I only made it to the 2nd 'easy' hill and that was enuf for me.  Reallly fun.  It was Saturday and not crowded at all so you got to go up and down with no wait.  All of the staff is really friendly and let us switch out from skis to snowboarding if skiing wasn't working out.  Theres a lodge to go into with concession food and a fireplace.  After a few hrs of skiing, my boyfriend and I went tubing for a bit.  That was pretty fun too. Reasonable pricing and I'd definitely go back. Cool place overall.

    I'm only reviewing the tubing aspect of Pando,since i'm not a skier or snowboarder. Anyways, I just went today and had a great time!The lines were pretty long,which was expected.Today was a sunny day with a high of 27 so we figured there would be a crowd.We had to wait 45 minutes just to get to the ticket counter.I suggest going in the evening like after 5 if you want to avoid lines.We waited about 10 minutes every time for our turn to go up the lift hill.Getting the tube connected can be a bust sometimes,and today we even dealt with the lift stopping several times.The main thing I wanna talk about though is prices.I would hate to have a family going to this place because you'll leave broke.Kids 10 & under were $17 & 11 & up is $20.This is for 3 hours of tubing,each!These are weekend rates though, not sure about the weekdays.3 stars for fun,but I can't give out anymore than that due to the prices.

    My boyfriend came out to visit my family and so a few of us decided to do something different and go tubing.  It was $17 for 3 hours, which is kind of expensive to just rent a tube.  This is a weekend price, and it's $10 for the weekday which is a lot more reasonable.  I think we could have bought one for less.  It was fun, but I think a make shift sled would have done the job just as well.  They have about 4 giant snow paths for people to sled down and 4 lifts to take you up.  For a good exercise you can walk up with your tube.  I did this when the line was long, and it really helps warm you up.  This is probably a lot more fun for kids, and I think we would have had a better time if we came with kids.  The most fun is going with a group down at the same time and hooking up the tubes together.  It doesn't allow for the ability to make your own path when you go skiiing or snowboarding, which they also have here as well.  The ski lodge has a nice fireplace and you can make purchases of hot cocoa and popcorn here.
