Kicking Horse is one of the hidden gems of interior British Columbia in the Canadian Rockies.

Boasting the longest vertical drop in the Canadian Rockies, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has 4,133 feet (1,260 meters), and something for everyone. Often compared to Jackson Hole, Kicking Horse has some massive terrain, but is also a wonderful place to learn to ski or... hone your blue-square skills.

A great destination for adrenaline junkies and families alike, Kicking Horse should definitely be on your list of resorts to visit this year.

Have fun!

Reviews & Tips (5)

we visited the horse and enjoyed upper bowls and ridge shots. But what really made this trip incredible was adding Fernie Alpine Resort. As Fernie gets the most snow of any resort in the Canadian Rockies. We also think the fall-line runs and more diverse Bowl network make Fernie superior. A great combo trip

Kicking Horse is a real skiers mountain - plenty of terrain for everyone and the scenery is fantastic! - you will not be board! Don't forget to try the night tubing - a total blast!

I rode Kicking Horse last season, it was awesome. We were lucky with the snow, but there are plenty of stashes even if it hasn't been snowing in a while.
