Kicking Horse Glistens High Above Golden

On that day I’d peeked at all the chutes just below Eagle’s Eye Restaurant off CPR Ridge with a ready excuse to avoid them. It was time to see what all the hype was about, the chatter about the regular Freeski IFSA Nationals held here and the 100+ diamond runs that glitter like the studs in David Beckham’s ears. The mundane does not actually exist anywhere at Kicking Horse, one of those rare resorts where you can ski every terrain type on a single run, an unanticipated virtue, at least by me, of skiing a hill top-to-bottom on a regular basis. I’d sum it up this way, to steal a cliché and turn a few stomachs: Kicking Horse is a little bit backcountry and a little bit rock and roll.

Guide to Skiing BC’s Coast Mountains Region

This resort deserves a few days for a proper visit, especially since you might get a case of the jello legs when making laps with over 1500 vertical meters or after the longest run which is 11km! Speaking of attractions, Whistler Blackcomb just added a new suspension bridge at the top of Peak Chair on Whistler Mountain, notably the most scenic landing on the mountain! Heading south on the Sea-to-Sky after visiting Whistler Blackcomb the next resort to stop at is Cypress Mountain. Four terrain parks line the mountain, each equipped with lights for night skiing and riding at Seymour, but don’t let that intimate you, 40% of the terrain is beginner friendly and 40% intermediate terrain meaning there is something for everyone.

Powder Highway North – let your inner explorer play here

Sure the big fall-line vertical rippers, groomers that go on for miles, deep fresh tracks and massive variety of terrain matter, but what really makes this trip different is the down to earth people, spirited, each with a story, all having this glow for life, many with humble beginnings, who simply share their love for being outside.
