Kicking Horse Mountain Resort | Reuben Krabbe Kicking Horse Mountain Resort | Reuben Krabbe Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
Tucked among soaring peaks in the Rocky Mountains, Kicking Horse is all about big mountain skiing and dry Canadian powder.
Kicking Horse is home to five alpine bowls and 85 chutes that keep skiers exploring for days. More thrills? The surrounding heli-skiing terrain is seemingly limitless. Other activities here include a tube park and skating rink, and the resort hosts one of the largest ski events in the world, the Freeride World Tour.
With an impressive ski-in/ski-out village, Kicking Horse rocks the après scene too, from cozy 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-m (7,700-ft) perch.
