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 17/03

Rain and mild conditions dominate across the Coastals, BC Interior and Rockies through this week and into the weekend; this will change abruptly as temperatures take a long walk off a short pier and this precipitation rapidly changes to snow – lots of it in the Coastals, with up to 40cm expected down.

Much of this will blow itself out before it hits the Interior, with the Rockies seeing a few flurries moving in off the Plains.

Over the St Lawrence, things start cold before improving as snowy weather moves in, bringing steady, consistent snowfall for the end of this week and into the weekend.
