We checked in on Friday evening and were upgraded to a kitchen suite, phenomenal room and view. With it being in between seasons we had the place almost to ourselves. The front desk ladies were most helpful in restaurant recommendations. Enjoyed the deck looking up at the ski hill and took in the sunshine. Will definitely be returning for another... More

Thank you for the nice comments from your stay with us at Glacier Mountaineer Lodge. The shoulder season at Kicking Horse offers plenty of quiet time, as well as a nice and peaceful environment as you have suggested. It is a great place to unwind, and take in the natural surroundings and the snow capped mountain views. Thank you once... More

The lodge is excellently located for skiing in Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. From the room via a spacious ski and boot store a direct access to the gondola is available. Perfect! The bars and restaurants in the groundfloor provide drinks and food at acceptable prices. The terrace is ideal for having a good pint of local beers at the end... More

Thank you for the wonderful comments from your recent stay with us at Glacier Mountaineer Lodge. The coffee shop and slopeside bar is a favorite place among skiers at the end of a hard ski day, especially if the sun is shining on the terrace.

Shared a 2 bedroom unit with friends. Accommodations were adequate. Kitchen was well equipped. Although we are not skiers, we enjoyed the end of season activities. Attended a wedding at top of Kicking Horse Mountain. Scenery is breathtaking. Had a very good meal at Eagle's Eye Restaurant. Outside of resort could use some maintenance.

The location is great, close in, not far from the lifts. Parking can be a little tough, very limited underground and across the street, but a big public outdoor lot is available. Ice machine was not working in the building, so I had to go over to the other building for ice. The room is pretty small, even by mountain... More

Awesome time at Kicking Horse! Accommodations were very cozy and extremely clean. The skiing was not the best but it was still decent considering the lack of snow. Peaks Grill was great for après and Corks Restaurant was a nice spot for dinner on our last night.

Staying at the Glacier made the morning trip to the gondi less than 2 minutes! Pick up the skis out of the locker and you are there! I also loved the proximity to Peaks, where I hung out when I wasn't skiing. The negative: Noise can be a bit of a problem. Not so much during the week, but on... More

Some of the reviews on Trip Advisor weren't great so I wasn't expecting much. I was really pleased with pretty much everything: After a hairy drive (wouldn't recommend it in the dark) we received a warm welcome from the very friendly & helpful receptionist.

Thank you for your wonderful comments from your recent stay. I am pleased to hear that you and your family had a great experience with us at Kicking Horse. The drive through the majestic rocky mountains during the day is phenomenal, however, during the evening can be somewhat nerving if you haven’t driven through them before. Thank you once again...

A group of 8 adults shared a 3 bedroom condo at the Glacier Lodge at the bottom of the Gondola. The location was amazing, and the boot/ski locker room was very well organized with a great boot and mitt drier. It kept all the ski gear out of the condo and our boots were nice and warm in the morning!... More
