Daytrip to Kicking Horse yesterday. Early rise and late home but oh so worth it! Kicking Horse is renowned for the Blacks and Double Black runs accessed by a super long Gondola. However the Catamount Chair provides a really nice set or Green and Blue...More

Great skiing and snowboarding

Fantastic skiing and snowboarding but long wait to go up gondola. Mostly Intermediate and advanced terrain so not a mountain for beginners. There os only one way to the top of the mountain via the gondola and the waits were very long!

Crazy Powered Snow

First time but will be back for sure. We had a dumping of snow that any resort would die for. Skiers were just pumped about the powder. Very organized at the Gondola with loading and unloading made each run go quick. Great Work.More

Next level thrills for advanced skiers. Definitely worth the trip from Banff.

While staying in Banff we Skied Kicking Horse for two days in March 2018 and it absolutely blew my mind. It has some of the best lift-serviced terrain that I've ever seen, and it's perfect for an advanced skier looking for a challenge. While there...More

I assume your flights have been booked. The best solution would have been to fly in & out of Calgary. That would have avoided the long & boring drive to Edmonton, and given you two chances to see the parkway. Personally, with kids, I would skip Kootenay NP. Hot springs really aren't the best for younfer kids - they're not play pools, rather small hot pools for sitting and relaxing. Radium does have a separate swimming pool, so it's better than Banff or Miette. But there's really...More

Visiting Bear Refuge, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (1 Replies)

Warning to other travellers particularly in RV (mobile homes). We had our RV broken into July 2009 and our luggage stolen whilst at the Bear Sanctuary in Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Despite being parked in the middle of the carpark in full view of everyone and we even took photos of it whilst going up in the chairlift. Spoilt which should have otherwise been a perfect day. When reporting to the management of the resort they were not very helpful and even suggested we were making it up!...More

That is a horrible event to happen on your trip. I hate thieves! Last night I was woken up by a guy trying to use a portable grinding tool to cut a bike lock across the street. After I started yelling at him from my balcony he ran down the street. Not much else I could do. You should change the title to a warning about RV break-ins that could happen at any parking lot. BC, especially Vancouver has a lot of car break-ins.

Gondalas - so many to choose from ! (2 Replies)

Hi there, Will be in the beautiful rockies very soon and we are going on the Gondala in Banff (Sulphur Mountain) and will go on the Gondala in Jasper and probably the one at Lake Louise, but is it worth going up the one at Golden, at The Kicking Horse Mountain resort ? (We will be in Field/Golden area for a few days, so distance ) Many Thanks, Bel :)

Response fromViajeroPerdido|

I really like the one above Golden. I'd say, don't miss it, and skip one of the others if you're getting "gondola'd out". Be prepared to save your money and change your plans if you just see cables going up into a cloud. Oh, except that on the BC side, sometimes the top of the mountain will be *above* the cloud bank, making a different but pretty impressive view. Ask.
