The face of Kicking Horse and indeed the mountain itself is ideally positioned to accommodate an outstanding winter season ski resort. North-East facing slopes allow for excellent snow retention. Mother Nature chips in to provide enough high-level moisture, sun, temperature and super-dry, low-level air to create and preserve Kicking Horse's perfect powder. The quality of this fine, dry Purcell Powder has for years been the closely guarded secret of the region's local skiers.
Our summer season holds adventure too, enjoying activities such as Golfing, Hiking, Whitewater Rafting, Kayaking & Canoeing, Paragliding, Mountain Biking, Heli Hiking/Sightseeing, Rock Climbing and Sky Lunch.
