Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Kicking horse and Revelstoke are 2 of the most incredible resorts in Canada. Endless big mountain terrain, and after a good storm there’s nothing better.
- I just finished a trip at kicking horse, and the snow is fucking incredible, face shots 3 days in a row while being toured around by locals.
- If only 2 then it’d depend what you like to ski: steeps and bowls? Revy and KH.
- Of all the resorts I've been to kicking horse is probably the scariest and I'm capable of doing the double blacks everywhere.
- Go from 95 and spend time in KH if hwy1 no closure
Cons
- I’d say I’m fairly advanced but I’m sweating K.Ho, looks like a lot of chutes that are too tight or too steep for me, sometimes both.
- Lodging was pretty easy to get on short notice, and epic pass meant I didn’t need to worry about lift tickets (except for kicking horse)
- Kicking Horse is very expert focused and not a great option for people who aren't comfortable with double blacks.
- I would skip kicking horse for your group. Sounds like it really appeals to expert level skiers

I flew to Calgary and hit a few other resorts on the way over, RED, Kicking Horse, and Panorama. Then ended in Revy, made for a fantastic two week trip.
Revelstoke or Kicking Horse
I would prioritize Revy, Red, Whitewater, and Fernie. You could toss in Kicking Horse too. They aren't very snow-sure, but it makes a loop possible.
