About the mountain
Know the place.
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort stands near Golden, British Columbia, offering 4,133 vertical feet of terrain — the fourth highest vertical drop in North America. The resort is built for serious skiers: approximately 80% of the terrain is rated intermediate, advanced, or expert, and the mountain's sustained pitch and consistent champagne powder snowpack deliver the kind of skiing that brings dedicated riders back season after season.
An eight-person gondola carries skiers from the base village to the upper mountain, where the terrain opens into expansive bowls, steep chutes, and challenging glades. The CPR Ridge area, Feuz Bowl, and the expert lines off the summit offer sustained challenge for advanced skiers. Intermediate and beginner terrain fills out the lower mountain for developing riders.
The small but genuine base village at the gondola offers slope-side dining and accommodation. The town of Golden nearby adds services and a classic small-mountain-town character to the experience. For those in pursuit of big vertical and Canadian powder, Kicking Horse is a destination-calibre mountain that often flies under the radar.
