Great beautiful friendly destination.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Skiing is great but the resort is very subpar for a Vail partner resort. Hopefully things will get better because Kirkwood has enormous potential but ultimately the facilities and atmosphere are a huge let down.

4/5 - Good

Gina

A very enjoyable location.
