Ski at Kicking Horse
Length -
Tucked among soaring peaks in the Rocky Mountains, Kicking Horse is all about big mountain skiing and champagne powder. Kicking Horse is also home to four alpine bowls and chutes that keep skiers exploring for days. More thrills? The surrounding heli-skiing terrain is seemingly limitless.
With an impressive ski-in/ski-out village, Kicking Horse rocks the après scene too, from cosy pubs to fine dining. Case in point: The Eagle’s Eye Restaurant is Canada’s most elevated dining experience, thanks to its lofty 2,346-metre (7,700-foot) perch.
Dialing up for this coming winter, Kicking Horse’s new terrain includes the legendary Ozone South face (made famous as the competition venue for last year’s Freeride World Tour event) and Middle Ridge, offering fantastic turns into both Feuz Bowl and the adjacent Rudi’s Bowl. This is Canada’s biggest expansion in skiable terrain—a loud and large 660 acres offering challenges to all skiers and riders.

- Feb 8, 2025: “Amazing smaller ski resort Part of our road trip return leg Was very cold but the resort made up for it Helpful staff easy to navigate around Snow and powder great Easy to park and transport ski bike No issue well worth a visit Well groomed slopes and routes Nice food and drinks” 0
- Feb 7, 2025: “2 of our group needed rentals and it took 2 hrs without a significant queue. The rest of us waited, of course, thinking any minute they'll be done. No, all 8 of us wasted a hefty portion of the morning and this hill closes Early. Felt like we paid $185 each plus the couple rental pkgs ($1700+ in total) for the exceptional views rather much skiing today. Here for an extended weekend, Sorry but so far Thumbs down overall.” 1
- Dec 5, 2024: “Downhill mountain biking here, it was fun but the trails are quite rough in comparison to other locations, I would say this mountain is not really for beginners.” 2
