Beautiful views and great location
Stayed for 3 days of ski/snowboarding at Kicking horse. First off - don't worry about Kicking Horse reviews saying it's a dangerous mountian. It's only as scary as you want it to be with plenty of long green and blue runs. We were moderate to good riders on arrival ranging from 12 to 50 yo and didn't run into anything we didn't mean to try. The views on the hill are incredible and the further you want to hike the more fresh snow you get. The house is perfectly located only 3 minutes drive to the lift which is great for a mid day nap or rest as the mountian will horse kick the energy out of all but the most experienced riders. You can ski in and out but out on a snowboard you'll have to walk a short distance as the closest lift only runs on busy weekends. House is bright and open with lots of space for family and friends. Hot tub with a coffee first thing in morning watching the mountain for a groomer is delightful. Kitchen was well equipped. If you can, buy your groceries before Golden as prices climb with the altitude. There is also a general store with liquor in the resort. House manager was quick to reply to any questions. The garage is set up fantastic for winter sports with drying tower and hanging racks. There may be cheaper options available but you won't get this level of a relaxing family mountian experience in a suite or 20 minutes away in Golden.
