Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Reviews

The rooms were quite decent and the hot tub was an added plus after a good day on the mountain. The biggest asset of here is the fact that you can ski in and out on kicking horse(one of my favourite mountains).

Best mountain ever, insane verticals, so much to choose from, steep steep runs, this mountain is not for begginners or the faint hearted!

Enough snow to enjoy no lines and get serious goggle tan. The skiff of new up top carried us thru till everything softened up underneath. Terrain is great.

My partner had a mishap on the mountain biking park and the staff took excellent care of him. They went above and beyond - calling to give me updates, helping us keep calm (despite the situation) by keeping the conversation lighthearted, shuttling me down to the main building to retrieve his car, even helping me back out of the stall he was in. I want to thank Elena (Edit: Alaina!) and all the other staff on September 2nd, 2020 on the hill who helped us.

When we're healthy and back at 100%, we'll come visit again - maybe for some snowboarding!

Great local mountain, tons of terrain (no terrain park though). Great snow, great attitude, highly recommend. Do the hikes, they're worth it.

Great hill with challenging terrain. Is usually not too busy which is a major perk!

Must stop. Deffo worth it. Make sure you hike round to T1 or T2... and stop at the top of the chairlift for one of the best belly-up-bar-views ever.

Nice view, nice people, unli ride up and down the mountain for a day.

Good powder at the top. Only one exit for all runs, so the base gets a bit icy.

Great views from atop kicking horse mountai n! Make sure to stop by and say hi to Boo the grizzly bear!

Best mountain for expert skiers who loves champagne powder

Best terrain in North America! Couldn't be more fun to ski!

The gondola up to the top of the mountain offers great views, and the mountain has many different hiking and biking trails.

Rad mountain that could use a park and less line up

Awesome slopes, easy to access. The runs are very long, and you'll get a full run in every time. Chairlift takes a while, but the trade off is amazing slopes that last enough to make it worth.

Stayed at Glacier Lodge which was at the base of the Gondola. It was a standard suite that you'd expect at any resort. The hot tub was waaaay too small though. You could fit 8-10 people at best. Aside from that, Peaks Grill was awesome. Good food, great service. Line ups for the Gondola were a bit ridiculous but there was an event on the mountain that day. The snow and terrain were fantastic. I'd definitely return.

Friendly, helpful lift staff and met Boo the Grizzly

Was gunna give it more stars but I've had my stuff stolen off the racks. The mountain is good though

Kicking Horse has the bes ski terrain in the World bar none.

The snow is really good and I love the mountain terrain that kicking horse has to offer

A great mountain to ski, I can't stand the lift layout.

Great views, walks and information about Boo the bear. Shame the cafe closes so early at the top.

Great mountain if they get snow. NOT a beginner hill.

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is one of my favorite places, by far the best powder and town of Golden is a true gem of the Rockies.

Possibly my favorite ski resort! A lot of accessible terrain.

A hidden gem in Canadian Rockies .... definitely on my top 5 list from Canadian Ski Resorts.

Had such a blast on my snow bmx here! Can't wait to go back!

Lots of activities to do here, from hiking to biking to rock climbing.

$116 lift ticket for 4 runs the whole day, 1hr wait in the single line, 2 sides of the mountain closed off, people cutting in line constantly and not a single staff member to oversee this mess. Complained to the ticket scanner and he just laughed. 6 cars stuck in the car park blocking others exiting and no one from Kicking Horse to help. Just took the money and laughed to the bank. We ended up towing people out to help them. I ve been fortunate enough in life to travel to over 30 ski resorts and this is by far the most poorly run mountain out of all of them. After today we decided to cut our time short and not give these clowns another day of our money and left for Revelstoke. This place is NOT worth the detour. Best leave it off your list of places to visit

Absolutely beautiful. We stayed a week at a the Black Wolf luxury chateaux, a stunning multi-level home with a fully equipped kitchen, a relaxing hot tub under the stars, an indoor sauna and gorgeous views to boast. This home was well-conceived and provides extremely comfortable living and sleeping arrangements. A perfect holiday home to fall in love with!

Had a good meal and hike up here.. a must visit place

Great ski resort. A lot of super fun and challenging terrain. Food and drinks were served quickly and the staff was super friendly

Amazing skiing and boarding for those looking for black diamond runs

Some of the best riding on the planet. Staff are great, and rarely any line ups!

Great mountain to mountain bike down. Prepare for some flat tires though as the rocks here are sharp.

Awesome place to stay, and everything is so close. Service was great and the guess and scenery are incredible

What a mountain! Such a great time. Beautiful scenery. Good bars and restaurants and amazing riding on awesome terrain.

I stayed at the campsite down the road it was awesome, very clean and well kept

Super vista with breath taking views when the sun is shining without clouds. Limited drink selections, but one should be able to find an okay post ski beverage.

Lift attendants and general staff on this hill are some of the best, and after spending 6 or so seasons skiing here I can confidently say it's among the greatest and most challenging in the region.

We did via ferratta, saw boo, and hiked T2. All a fantastic experience and staff was crazy nice and friendly everywhere we encountered them. Our guide Jackie on the ferratta was great. We we're staying in Golden but popped up here two days for some adventure.

Great terrain, steep, with lots of snow. No crowds!

Beautiful place to stay. They even have a grizzly bear refuge on sight. Everything is new and nice. Wish directions around the place were a little better, but it had very helpful staff. Great place to stay.

Loved it, hills were nicely groomed, staff is friendly and you're way up in the clouds.

Steep and deep with a great beginners chair. Could use more daycare options.

Loved visiting Kicking Horse during a winter vacation! Not a skier, but it was amazing to be able to ride the gondola to the top of the mountain for spectacular views. The Eagles Eye Restaurant offered delicious food and great views from the warmth of indoors.

Great place right by the river with a beautiful view of the mountains

Unfortunately, the gondola was shut down until 10 30. Which resulted in huge lineups all day. The runs and conditions were great, however the long lines became very frustrating.

Love this mountain and resort. Lots to do mostly for the advanced athlete. Minimal selection of beginner. Ski hill terrain is amazing. Some of the best slack country around. Mountain bike trails are a blast and enough to make you wish you wore full pads.

The snow was unbelievable. Had the most amazing food at the highest restaurant in Canada and it was not expensive at all. The restaurant was gorgeous

Fun resort, knarly terrain and always a good time!

I would like to see another option if/when the gondola isn t working for getting somewhere other than Catamount... and yes they do have pioneer but that chair is beyond TREACHEROUS, in my opinion. I refuse to get on that chair. Period.

Great hill, great conditions, wonderful instructors and helpful staff.

One of my top two favorite mountains to ride, lots of trails and usually great snow conditions.

Great ski hill lots of runs for all levels of skiers. It was a busy weekend so was a bit of a wait for the gondola.

Stopped by on my way through the area, the resort is beautiful, what a nice place to be. The resort was fully in summer mode and we were only there for a bite to eat and a casual look around. The road up to the resort should be a time trial course, it was glorious, the main lodge has a couple restaurants to chose form, picked the more loungey sit down place, food was... pretty good for standard pub fair, service was on the slower inattentive side. This is the first N Murray owned asset that gets less than 5 star to, but it is OK.

Known for its incredible skiing in the winter, spring and summer bring awe inspiring views and adventure! Hike, bike, enjoy vistas and cuisine! Always something to do @kickinghorseresort!

Absolutely epic. The terrain here won't disappoint and there is heaps to scare even the best skier. Food and other amenities are great get around it!!!

The resort has tons of terrain, and the multiple bowls in which to ski or ride offer an amazing panoramic skiing or snowboarding experience. There are also numerous shops, bars, restaurants, and lodging at the base with friendly and welcoming staff where you can relax at the end of a long grind on the mountain.
