Kicking Horse is quickly developing into a great ski holiday destination. New properties at the mountain base mean that you can now stay on-mountain in brand new accommodation. Eagle's Eye restaurant at the top of the mountain is one of the best in Canada, and there are a couple of other places at the Kicking Horse base area to eat and drink. Further evening entertainment and accommodation options are available in the town of Golden, a 15 minute drive away.

The skiing in Kicking Horse is awesome with a vertical drop of over 4,000ft, and a top to bottom run that will have your legs begging for mercy. The ski terrain is varied and there are runs to suit all abilities, but the resort's true pull is for expert skiers. Wide open bowls, natural chutes and glades smothered with a reliable 25 feet of powder snow combine to make a great skiers' resort.
