Description of the Ski Area:The first resort to be
built in the Canadian Rockies in the past 25 years opened December 8,
2000. A place where winter's bounty is like nowhere else on earth. With
snow so sparkling, light and dry it's been labeled "the champagne of
powders."
Located just 14 km from the town of Golden B.C. and the Trans Canada
Highway, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort promises to become one of North
America's premier ski attractions and a year-'round, world-class recreational
destination. From adventure travel to a family-oriented vacation, Kicking
Horse Mountain Resort will offer something for everyone.
With the second highest vertical face in Canada and an abundance of
natural amenities, your first visit to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
will be nothing short of inspiring. In fact, it will be an experience
of firsts. Like your first meal at Canada's loftiest restaurant at 7,777
feet. A ride on the Golden Eagle Express, Canada's first level walk-in
gondola. And the opportunity to make first tracks in heli-skiing terrain,
all for the price of a lift ticket.
Distance from Banff: 84 miles (135 km.)
Distance from Calgary: 164 miles (262 km.)
Summary Notes:
A full 45% of this year's runs are rated for the intermediate skier/rider.
And 20% best suit the beginner. For those who wish to rise above their
current skill level, our experienced ski school instructors are there
to help.
