The base to summit Golden Eagle Express gondola transformed this locals' hill in 2000, providing access to some of Canada’s steepest inbounds terrain.

Plentiful snowfall makes this one of the most reliable places to score powder and with so much terrain served by a single lift (there is also the Stairway to Heaven chairlift that serves part of the upper mountain) fresh tracks last longer here than at many other major resorts. The steep terrain is so good that the Freeride World Tour stop off here every winter.

Kicking Horse’s small size means that it is an ideal stopover point if you’re heading on a multi-resort trip through Canada. Banff is not too far away to the east and Revelstoke is only two hours to the west.

Pros and cons

Epic steep skiing and great vertical
Spectacular scenery and views across BC
Great stopover point on a Canadian ski roadtrip

Gondola needs a midstation – you have to ski the whole way to the base
Upper mountain can be challenging in bad weather conditions
Very little at the resort base – Golden is a drive away

In the Resort

On the hill there are a few accommodation options – good for staying for a few days, but you’ll quickly find the evenings are very quiet and there is nothing to really do off the slopes. This is why we would recommend stopping here for a few days on your way through Canada, or staying down in the town of Golden – there is a lot more going on here after skiing.

Although on-mountain dining options are limited, Kicking Horse is home to one of the finest alpine restaurants in Canada – the Eagle’s Eye. Not only is the scenery epic, but the food is excellent.

Snow Overview

Canada

Updated 10/03

good, steady, consistent snowfall hits the Coastals for probably the first time this season, with a foot falling over Tuesday and Wednesday, peaking on Wednesday evening before starting again on Thursday. After a brief pause towards the end of this week, snowfall returns over the weekend with another 15cm expected down. Temperatures will remain cold staying well below freezing throughout this period.

Similarly cold temperatures will be in play in the BC Interior, however things will remain mostly dry throughout this period. Things turn really cold over the Rockies, with steady snowfall over Thursday and Friday to bring around 20cm to the region.

Mild temperatures over the St Lawrence will drop considerably over Wednesday and into Thursday, however not before precipitation has had a chance to fall as rain. Cold temperatures then bring snowfall into the weekend helping to top things up heading deeper into spring.
