Ski holidays in Kicking Horse put even the most seasoned skiers in our office to the test. With more black and double black diamond runs than any other grades, advanced skiers come here for the inbound chutes, ridges and bowls. Kicking Horse is also famous for its light powder and fantastic former heli-ski-only terrain - we’d definitely recommend a guide.
Intermediates can take it easier on the cruisers, and beginners have gentle terrain near the mountain base. To get even more from the area it’s best to hire a car, as both Revelstoke and Lake Louise are within easy driving distance.
Kicking Horse has a small village base with slope-side restaurants but, for the best on-mountain dining experience, the panoramic Eagle’s Eye Restaurant at the summit is absolutely stunning. For more eateries and après options, it’s a few miles’ drive to the authentic mining town of Golden.
"'The Horse' is a must for the die-hard skiers & boarders, with an incredible vertical drop of 1,250 meters and terrain that will test you to the limit. To really get the most from Kicking Horse I’d definitely recommend spending a day with a Big Mountain Centre guide."

Customer Reviews
What our customers say about Kicking Horse.
So many more blue run skiing, so don’t be put off by the extreme mountain reviews. We absolutely loved Kicking Horse. The Eagles Eye restaurant is fabulous. Best food we had in Canada and such good value. The views are incredible.
Very easy for us as a couple to ski slightly different routes meeting at the bottom and travelling in the gondola together.
