Formerly a heli-ski operation, resort construction began in fall of 1999 and Kicking Horse opened its doors on December 8th, 2000. Build-out should be reached in 2010. Kicking Horse is the first entirely new resort to be built in Canada in the last 25 years. An 8-passenger state-of-the-art gondola, the Golden Eagle Express, takes skiers from the village to the top of the mountain and a mountain top restaurant called the Eagle's Eye. A lodge is located in the Gondola Plaza providing ski-in-ski-out accommodations for visitors. The skiing at Kicking Horse is, as they say, awesome. Townhouses are available on the mountain. B&Bs, cabins, chalets, hotels, lodges, and motels available nearby. But, it is in the middle of nowhere so don't expect to be in a big town with shops and clubs!

Visitor Reviews of Kicking Horse
Daveyboy from Canada writes:
I skied KH for the first time on March .10. It was a glorious sunny day.
I was absolutely blown away by the stunning views of the Purcells & Rocky mtns. The double black terrain was unbelievable, truly Warren Miller stuff. And the Purcell powder, simply outstanding. I will return for sure.
