Kicking Horse Ski Resort, nestled in the town of Golden, B.C., is a premier destination in the breathtaking Purcell Mountains. Established in the early 1990s, it has grown into a favorite spot for skiers and snowboarders alike. With over 120 runs—ranging from gentle greens to expert-level blacks—spread across more than 3,400 acres of skiable terrain, the resort offers something for every level of adventurer. It's also renowned for its impressive 1,315-meter vertical drop and diverse landscape, which includes meticulously groomed trails, expansive backcountry, and five stunning alpine bowls.
Here, you'll find one of the highest and most unforgettable dining experiences in Canada. Nowhere else can you take a single gondola straight to the summit, where you're greeted with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains and surrounding national parks. These same alpine ridges and bowls help preserve deep, long-lasting snowfall—earning Kicking Horse its well-deserved title as the Champagne Powder Capital of Canada™.
