On the slopes

If you ski Kicking Horsem then intermediate and advanced sliders will get the most out of all the runs. This is a great ski resort in which to learn as it has some excellent beginner terrain. A good percentage of the 64 slopes are intermediate, with some great long runs - the longest is 10k! The lifts can transport 14,000 people, keeping the lines short. And when lunchtime comes, be sure to try the Eagle's Eye restaurant, Canada's highest at 2,310m. A great way to undertake skiing and snowboarding in Canada.

Off the slopes

Accommodation in Kicking Horse includes townhouses and a lodge with ski-in/ski-out accessibility, and several bed-and-breakfasts, chalets, hotels and motels nearby. Most of the après-ski is in the town of Golden, and other activities in the area include telemark skiing, snowshoeing, ice-climbing and flight-sightseeing. The world's largest enclosed grizzly bear refuge is also close by. Other nearby resorts include Panorama Mountain ski resort, and Lake Louise just over an hour's drive to the east.
