Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is Canada’s newest and hottest ski resort, located in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountain ‘powder country’.

It is a resort for everyone, from those just finding their way past the snow plough right through to the seasoned pro-skier.
The excellent snow conditions will include a vertical drop of 4,133 feet (1260 meters) from the top lift, making it the second highest in Canada.
