Where the Heart Is

Amazing Start

It was a amazing start to the season this past weekend.  We had our earliest opening ever on November 28/29th and the resort didn't know what hit it.  With over 270 cms of snow already at the top and cold temperatures Saturday the place was jammed.  
The conditions are good right from top to bottom so the gondola is the place to be with long runs(4 thousand feet) and you can pick any run.  I got out for just 1 run on the Saturday(waiting for the lift line to get shorter) and then yesterday I went up for most of the afternoon including stopping into the Eagle's Eye Restaurant at the top of the mountain for a beer with a group of friends.  What a great place to finish off the day. The photos are from Saturday. 
And this is just the beginning.  T2(my favourite) as well as Terminator and Super Bowl and Whitewall   are still not open but hopefully this coming weekend. So still lots of untracked terrain to come.
Give us a call if you are looking for that special place to stay for your ski vacation. Phone 250 344 2622 or email info@vagabondlodge.ca

Earliest Opening Ever!

It has been a wild week or so here at Kicking Horse.  We managed to get away for a short holiday and came back in a lull of a week of snow storms.  
Here is a quote from a Facebook site with all the details. 

"Kicking Horse Mountain Resort received the most snowfall in BC this week. 161 cm, 63″ or 5.25 ft of blower snow has fallen giving KHMR top to bottom waist deep skiing.  The November to Remember they said. In fact every hashtag out of Golden, BC has said it this week. And for good reason. The most recent 52 cm storm, bringing up to 10.5 cm (4″) per hour, has brought KHMR’s base to a whopping 238 cm, NEARLY 9 FEET! This has allowed the resort to have it’s EARLIEST OPENING DAY EVER. November 28th, 2015 will kick off the 15/16 season" 
Yes the resort is going to be open on November 28/29 for a sneak preview weekend and then again the following weekend on December 5/6 and start their daily operation on December 11th.  Give us a call here at Vagabond Lodge 250344 2622 for a taste of powder.  
​The great thing is..when the skies finally cleared these photos give you a taste of what it looks like here now.  Stunning.

Here is what the storm looked like.
