Kicking Horse Golden BC

An Advanced Skiers Paradise

Perched in the heart of British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is know for its extraordinary vertical drop of 4,314 feet – created the perfect playground for expert skiers to explore extensive cliff zones and incredible trees. This vast playground spans over 3,486 acres, blessed with more than 288 inches of annual snowfall that blankets the terrain for incredible powder days.

60% of the Kicking Horse is made up of black and double black runs and over 85 inbounds chutes making it a sanctuary for advanced and expert skiers. The legendary Super Bowl, one of North America’s largest alpine bowls, offers endless lines through untracked powder, while the imposing CPR Ridge stands as a testament to the most technically challenging in-bounds skiing in the Rockies

Accommodation options reflect the mountain’s diverse character. The ski-in/ski-out Glacier Mountaineer Lodge positions guests at the heart of the action, while the sophisticated Palliser Lodge offers a modern retreat with private hot tubs overlooking snow-covered peaks.

Stay Golden at Canada’s Most Underrated Ski Town

It’s no secret that the ski industry is heavily supported by those with healthy disposable incomes and most ski towns cater to the ultra wealthy. But let it be known that us ski bums still exist and not every ski town has been gentrified with massive second homes and heated sidewalks. We’re talking about Golden, British Columbia—one of the last authentic ski towns in Canada and a hotspot for gravity-fueled, adrenaline-pumping winter recreation of any and all kinds.
