Kicking Horse
Overview
The skiing at Kicking Horse truly delivers, especially for strong intermediates and experts with a huge selection of bowls and glades, all at challenging pitches. Skiing at Kicking Horse means bowls, chutes and steep gladed runs and even on-piste some of the pitches will have the adrenalin flowing. Fresh powder is a regular occurance and Kicking Horse truly delivers thrills and spills aplenty.
An excellent resort as an “add on” for experts and good intermediates. Buses run from Banff daily. The area boasts a huge annual snowfall of 30 feet!!!
Offslope/apres ski
Not a lot to do for the non skier although we can’t imagine why a non skier would want to go to Kicking Horse. Après ski is close to the lifts with the a couple of lively bars.
Overview
A rapidly expanding resort with some fantastic dry powder, get there before the news spreads.
