When you plan your Canada ski vacation to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort you are coming to the “Champagne Powder Capital of Canada”â„¢. Each year at Kicking Horse we are lucky enough to receive on average more than seven metres (23 feet) of some of the lightest, driest and deepest powder snow on the planet.
The majestic mountains surrounding us, and our phenomenal snow pack, are the reasons why our area has such historic mountain culture. It’s also why we are surrounded by the highest concentration of beautiful back-country lodges, off piste skiing, and mechanized ski operations (both cat and heli) in all of Canada.
With one of the longest vertical descents in North America, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is a spectacular big mountain experience. The fourth highest vertical drop in North America, the raw ruggedness of our mountain, our amazing always-fresh powder, and the sheer beauty of our pristine scenery sets Kicking Horse apart as one of the most exceptional ski resorts in British Columbia, hands down.
Standing at the base of the ski runs and just steps from the gondola are the majestic Glacier and Mountaineer lodges. These beautiful executive style condos and rooms are fully furnished and were designed with creature comfort in mind.
