How is Panorama lately? I was there 4-5 years ago and the trails were lacking? How is it now?

With which regard was it lacking? Areyou looking for more XC, more jump lines, more steeps or do you mean that they have a small number of good trails?

i was there about 5 years ago to, the trails just seemed like nobody cared about them, not enough maintainence. as well as jump lines, hells bells i think it was? the jumps were off so you would have to adjust speed accordingly.
