Whisk your guests via the Golden Eagle Express Gondola to 7,700 feet for an unforgettable experience before
you tie the knot! This unique mode of transportation will leave your guests talking about your wedding for years
to come.
ASCEND THOUSANDS OF FEET WITHOUT LOSING YOUR BREATH.
With 8 guests per cabin, we are able to transport your guests 4,000 vertical feet to the top of the mountain while
they take in the panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, Columbia River Wetlands and perhaps even catch a
glimpse of Kicking Horse Mountain Resorts resident grizzly bear, Boo.
Every cabin is wheelchair / stroller accessible and can be slowed or stopped to accommodate guests with limited
mobility.
Getting your decorations, flowers and cake to the top will be a breeze. Our staff will assist you and your vendors
load your decorations and equipment in our custom made carts designed to fit directly inside each cabin.
THE GOLDEN EAGLE EXPRESS
THE EAGLE’S EYE SUITES At 7,700 feet above sea level, perched high on a rugged summit overlooking the Columbia Valley, the Rocky, Purcell
and Selkirk Mountains, sits the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant. Nestled within the timber, rock and glass structure are the
Eagle’s Eye Suites.
TASTEFULLY APPOINTED WITH A ROCKY MOUNTAIN FLARE, THESE
EXECUTIVE SUITES OFFER A SANCTUM OF LUXURY & SOLITUDE.
Available to rent for the day, the Eagle’s Eye Suites give you the space to relax and indulge on your special day.
Check-in is available at 11.30am, offering a sanctuary for you and your wedding party to get ready before your
ceremony. Day use of one suite is included with the Eagle’s Eye Ceremony and Reception package giving you access
until the end of your reception at 12.45am. There will be no need to worry about parents with little ones having to
leave the reception early, as the suite is a great place for kids to sleep off all of the excitement.
There is no place more romantic and intimate to spend your wedding night than at the top of a mountain! Overnight
stays are available with a wedding discount at a cost of $499/night including a private butler, breakfast and first tracks
down the hill for those winter weddings.

You and your guests will receive an exclusive 20% wedding discount on activities when booking your reception package.
Your guests can take advantage of the whole weekend and discover all the adventure Kicking Horse has to offer with
Grizzlies, Gondolas, Mountains and More!
VIA FERRATA Secured Climbing Route – Get vertical at the most exhilarating Via Ferrata (Italian for iron path) in Western
Canada! Confirmed and apprentice climbers alike will tackle Terminator Peak’s north face and venture through 2
custom courses and 1 suspension bridge.
SIGHTSEEING & HIKING
GRIZZLY BEAR REFUGE
People don’t come to Kicking Horse Bike Park to ride the same old thing, they come for the differences and we
have plenty meaning 1200 metres (4000 feet) of stupendous variety! The start of it is the view from the alpine
launch which is dominated by the three mountain ranges that surround the park, and the most variety of trails in
the Canadian Rockies region.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Take a scenic chairlift ride to the Grizzly Bear Refuge to enjoy an hour-long interpretive tour during which you
can observe our resident grizzly, Boo, and learn all about this magnificent species. This 20 acre refuge is the
largest enclosed and protected grizzly bear habitat in the world. Within this natural mountainside habitat, Boo
hunts, forages and explores just like his wild cousins. Everyone who comes to visit Boo is fascinated by his
strength, agility, intelligence and personality.
Stepping off the gondola at the top of the mountain for the first (or even hundredth) time can induce feelings of
wonder and humility as the ridgelines of the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges extend back as far as the eye can
see. With gondola assisted sightseeing at the heart of Kicking Horse’s appeal, several ridgeline hiking paths are
marked for easy access to show off the panoramic views the Horse is known for.
SKIING & BOARDING
TUBING & SKATING
LESSONS
The winter season at Kicking Horse offers an integrated mountain resort experience with some of the most
progressive inbounds skiing in North America. The mountain consists of 1,260 metres (4,133 feet) of vertical
including 128 runs, 4 alpine bowls and 85 inbound chutes, spread over 2,825 acres of skiable terrain. High
adrenaline adventure or relaxing peaceful pastimes, the mountain caters to every skill level. With annual snowfall
ranging from 254 cm at the bottom of the mountain to 700 cm at the summit, the slopes are known to produce
sparking, light and dry snow, dubbed Champagne Powder.
Getting better just keeps getting better at Kicking Horse! Our lessons help recreational skiers and riders become
experts. TELUS Winter Sports School is designed to build your strength and enhance your skills, until you learn
to ride with confidence and control in the expert zones. Our guides will share their amazing insights and teach
you all the special skills you need to master any kind of terrain.
Located in the heart of the Kicking Horse Plaza, with access by the Jelly Bean surface lift, we make tubing easy.
No skills are required, just a sense of adventure. It’s the perfect family activity after a day on the slopes. Take a
few relaxing moments to soak in your surroundings while on the Village Rink located at our Learning Centre.
This natural ice surface is perfect for the family who wants to “chill out” after some time on the slopes. It
features benches, a fire pit, warming hut and music. Please remember to bring your skates and Smores supplies
to enjoy a tasty treat. Bring your “A” game as sticks and pucks are welcome.
Your friends and family can enjoy the fresh mountain air with or without skis! Make your day last a weekend with endless
slopes, views and snowflakes. Get a taste of our famous Champagne Powder with 20% discounts on tickets, lessons and
rentals. Saddle up for some fun at the tubing zone, warming hut and ice rink.
