Kicking Horse reviews (Page 2)

Were in Kicking March 05 o can only say that the mountain is weekend if it snowed. Had some good days when we hiked o went in the bowlers. Really nice o radical ride, which is easily accessible. 20 min hike is enough. By the way, Golden is right off. The Helöa plant will probably be more frugal when everything is completed. A new gondola is also planned. Definitely worth a visit. Be sure to be flexible so you can snooze. Being stuck in kicking with checkout conditions is not fun. 5th in grades if it is snowing.

Good luck

Spent winter 05 in Kicking. Unfortunately unfortunately it was a really bad season. The mountain is good, one of the better in Canada if you hear what others say.
Be in Fernie 01 and it might look like a hill, Kicking is a mountain. There are lots of nice gutters and some nice fields. Not the same length of the field as in the Alps, but quite ok.

Golden (village) looks like a small town in a cowboy movie! A "pedestrian street" with some shops and then it's over. Nightlife is no elevation, except Mondays (of all days), there will be a new strip to the Roadhouse pub, then everyone is out (the whole village, type 30). No frills that it dominates with guys in the pub maybe ...
Absolutely ok place to spend some time in, I do not recommend a whole season. Being easily bored out in nowhere and not the weather gods with such a dull fast. Would think that 1 month is right

Missing me when I was there. The plant is fine. Many steep bowls and rannies, but without a hint they stared flat. One could resemble that at Kittel, which does not piss in unodan, but trusts in nature. It's good when nature goes as it should, but if it does not, it will be a joke.

Kicking is a lot of choice every turn - if there is a sno!

Well there's a month in the winter. Good tuning except when Craig Kelly died in nearby REvelstoke. Do not miss freshmeat monday. Well there, early in January, my tip is to go there in Mars / April, there was a lot better snow then.

Swim calmly

This is a place that will let you know more when building the area a little more. Today, one is dependent on a single new gondola with impressive lift height.
Was there 3 days in March 2002, nice snow despite several days ago snowfall, very cold was it. Brant and nice off-piste, especially if you get a little bit crazy. Little people, which is good for the snow.
From Banff there are ski buses a few times a week, recommended. Otherwise you live in Golden. Stayed in a scabby hostel on the wrong side of the railroad. Kilometer-long trains a few times an hour do not benefit sleep. Good party performance, especially on "the kicking hore" ... just joking, in "Beautiful Golden" you will not stop to party. Stan is located near Rogers Pass.
Plus too high fall height, long season and 7 m snow per year. The system is small, with extensive expansion possibilities.

Canon great place. We arrived there about 3-4 days after snowfall. Still good anyway. The dream would be to come there the day after a night's snowing. (But you always want ifs!) Very good lift that took one from the bottom to the top quickly and smoothly. Gondola that cools about 8 pers. Very good service among the lift staff, took care of the skis and put them in the elevator!
The restaurant at the top is worth a visit even if the price is a bit higher than normal.

Kicking Horse is formerly called Whitetooth. The Dutch big finance has sent a lot of bullets to build a long gondola, which probably caused the name change. Unfortunately, you have stuck with the number of eggs so it will be queue anyway. The fall height you get when you take the gondola is unbelievable 1260 m. At the top is a restaurant with white tablecloths and cannon food. Views over Crystal Bowl and Bowl Over, some traverses take a rather easy to unspoilt terrain. If the snow ends, you can hesitate a bit. The ride in the upper parts of the system is of high quality. However, when it does not snow, the North American phenomenon "monster puckel" occurs in the lower parts of the system. Puckel seems to be macho so there should be a lot of it. I suspect, however, that they saved the pistols.

You live in Golden. Do not forget the TP game for boring evenings and bananas if you want to melt with the locals. Golden sucks but mountain kickes!
