Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
Deep in the heart of British Columbia lays one of the best kept
secrets of the Rockies, a place of beauty and mystery; one that will capture
the heart, mind and soul of any who visits and entice them back again and again.
Deep in the heart of British Columbia, Canada, lies Kicking Horse Mountain
Resort.
North America’s newest sports resort, is less than a three
hour drive from Calgary International Airport, and was voted “Number 1
Resort for Powder in North America” by Skiing Magazine, and “Small
Resort of the Year 2003” by the Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide, Kicking
Horse Mountain Resort offers ideal snow conditions for at least 120 days a year
in the magnificent Canadian Rockies.
Just 12 minutes, and 4,133 feet of vertical, on the Golden Eagle
Express Gondola, and you’re on to the soft, dry ‘champagne’
powder for which the resort has become famous for. With the second highest vertical
in Canada, and an amazing 106 runs (including a stunning 10km run), Kicking
Horse offers something for skiers of all abilities. The gondola also provides
for access to the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant, “Mountain Restaurant of
the Year” and Canada's Highest Dining Experience.
