Athena Oikos Review of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort

It is a beautiful resort in a gorgeous setting with amazing amenities on the hill. Access to the Nordic skiing area (Dawn Mountain) is a real bonus. I've been to the mountain in the past and am returning this year b/c I've booked things already but...likely won't be back. Here's why - it's a small but important detail. The webpage for the resort lists lots of things to do both on the mountain and in Golden...but here is the challenge...there is no shuttle servicing the mountain. If you get to Golden without wheels you are really stuck. When I emailed the mountain I was advised to 'check at my accommodation and try and get a lift up to the mountain with someone'. Really!
While Powderhounds gave Kicking Horse a top rating I notice that Kicking Horse didn't make it into the Best Overall category (which includes things like services) but Red Mountain in Rossland did make it into that category - and yes, Red Mountain has a free shuttle.
