Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
A Rocky Mountain High Vacation.
|
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located on the eastern-most slopes of the Purcell Mountains. The first four-season resort to open in the Rockies in 25 years, Kicking Horse is dramatically surrounded by six national parks: Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier and Mt. Revelstoke, Jasper and Banff.
During the winter, Kicking Horse offers a breathtaking 1,260 m (4,134 ft) of vertical and is famed for its champagne powder. Thanks to this and more, Kicking Horse has been recognized as "Small Resort of the Year" by the UK's Good Skiing and Snowboard Guide (2004 and 2005).
From late spring to early fall, the resort is also a key destination for a variety of outdoor pursuits thanks to its close proximity to national and provincial parks.
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located 15 minutes north of Golden, BC, 3 hours west of Calgary, Alberta and just 1 hour west of Lake Louise, Alberta. In winter, there are daily shuttles to the resort from Golden and from Banff.
