Forecast today: Snow grains
- Max temp: 8.4 °c
- Min temp: -2.2 °c
- Last snowed: Thu 20 Mar
The base to summit Golden Eagle Express gondola transformed this locals' hill in 2000, providing access to some of Canada’s steepest inbounds terrain.
Plentiful snowfall makes this one of the most reliable places to score powder and with so much terrain served by a single lift (there is also the Stairway to Heaven chairlift that serves part of the upper mountain) fresh tracks last longer here than at many other major resorts. The steep terrain is so good that the Freeride World Tour stop off here every winter.
Kicking Horse’s small size means that it is an ideal stopover point if you’re heading on a multi-resort trip through Canada. Banff is not too far away to the east and Revelstoke is only two hours to the west.

ValuePros and cons
-
Epic steep skiing and great vertical
-
Spectacular scenery and views across BC
-
Great stopover point on a Canadian ski roadtrip
-
Gondola needs a midstation – you have to ski the whole way to the base
-
Upper mountain can be challenging in bad weather conditions
-
Very little at the resort base – Golden is a drive away
In the Resort
On the hill there are a few accommodation options – good for staying for a few days, but you’ll quickly find the evenings are very quiet and there is nothing to really do off the slopes. This is why we would recommend stopping here for a few days on your way through Canada, or staying down in the town of Golden – there is a lot more going on here after skiing.
Although on-mountain dining options are limited, Kicking Horse is home to one of the finest alpine restaurants in Canada – the Eagle’s Eye. Not only is the scenery epic, but the food is excellent.

Snow Overview
Canada
Updated 01/04
A cool start to the week brings with it generally dry conditions, with a few flurries of snowfall over the Rockies. The week then turns mild and sunny as it proceeds and nears its conclusion, with a brief, cool flash expected over the weekend.
Over the St Lawrence, a bitterly cold opening to the week turns mild quickly, with snow on Wednesday evening preceding mild conditions and rain from Thursday onwards. More settled weather – albeit mild – concludes the week and opens the weekend.
