Visitor Reviews of Kicking Horse


BCDon from Canada writes:

Being from Calgary I'm close enough (3 hours door to slope) to do KH (Kicking Horse) as a day trip but I generally make it a 2 day trip. Accomodations can be had for under $60 per person with double accomodations and if you want to pay under $50 you can do that as well.

Having skied a lot at Fernie, Nakiska and "the Lake", I had to get new skis to handle the more difficult terrain at KH. In other words, as an advanced skier, it was easier to get into more advanced terrain at KH than the other resorts and there is more of it. The powder skis I used at Louise needed to be upgraded to handle the steeps and trees at KH. Not that Louise is a bad hill and I have to admit, the new skis work great at Louise as well but my skiing and equipment needed upgrading for KH.

The groomers at KH are, well, groomers. If you like them, similar to groomers at other areas. Difficulty levels are similar to Louise or Fernie (that'd be "more" difficult than Nakiska).

Taking the Grand Kids (who can ski blacks at Nakiska) to KH is fun, there is some nice intermediate terrain for them. The blacks and double blacks are beyond them at this point (although in a couple of years it'll be reversed, I'm sure).

Making a weekend of KH is fun, driving up after work on Friday, staying overnight in Golden, up and at the hill for 9:00 AM on Saturday, then again staying overnight and skiing the next day till 4:00, give or take and driving back to Calgary is certainly a full weekend but a ton of fun.

Something I have noticed, at all resorts in the Canadian Rockies (and KH perhaps more so), is that Saturday is the busy day. 2 weeks ago there was a 20 minute wait on the gondola on Saturday yet only a 2 (yes, 2 minutes at most) wait on Sunday. So, wait times are dependent upon when you ski.

It will be nice if they decide to open up more terrain (by putting in some kind of lift, perhaps to Rudy's peak).
