Backcountry Skiing
Kicking Horse: North America’s Wildest Ski Terrain | After Hours Ep. #1
Kicking Horse might be the most insane ski resort in North America. Five alpine bowls. Peaks you bootpack to inside the resort boundary. The most chute skiing of any ski area on the continent — and snow so consistent you can still find powder two weeks after the last storm.
We sat down with Powder Matt Mosteller, SVP of Resorts at Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, and Toby Barrett, who runs sales, marketing, and operations at Kicking Horse, to get into all of it: the terrain, the snow science, backcountry access, and why Golden, BC might be the most underrated ski town on the continent.
Toby’s read on why Golden still flies under the radar, and Matt’s case for chute skiing over everything else the Rockies offer — that’s the part worth staying for.
