With an express gondola accessing over 4100 ft (1260m) of vertical, you’re bound to ski and ride an impressive feat of terrain comparable to only that of heli-skiing. Coupled with summer activities such as mountain biking, wildlife education, and alpine sightseeing, this is a place where the stories are almost too tall to believe. « less

Great gondola, steep pitches galore, quality snow. If only Stephanie at the mountain top restaurant had been civil, it would have been 5 star. After all it was her that prepared the wrong type of tea for my friend. She tossed it in a huff and hardly spoke after that. But other servers in the same restaurant seemed upset, perhaps... More

Great mountain and snow. If you are up for adventure, you can hike up or down, then ski! It is allowed as chairs do not cover all the mountain. More

I like to ski steep terrain so I really like Kicking Horse. The gondola takes 10 minutes to get to the top and you exit onto a narrow ridge. Then down through the bowls. If you ski all the way to the bottom, it will take you about 20 minutes. After a fresh snowfall, the powder in the bowls is... More

The first time I skied Kicking Horse, I was blown away by the variety of runs to try out. The ski area is much bigger than it first appears. Now I've skied for 2 seasons here, and still haven't hit all the runs. One drawback is that the only way to the top of the mountain is via the gondola... More
