Fantastic Start to the Season

12/14/2015

It certainly has been the best start to the season we have ever had in our 14 years at Kicking Horse. Best example is I went up to T2 which is one of the peaks to the south of the top of the gondola on the weekend. The ski patrol had opened it the day earlier. Usually I don't make my way up there until January at the earliest because of conditions. But already it is fabulous from top to the bottom. As of December 14th we have had 49 cm in the past 7 days and 377 total snowfall. And from the looks of the weather forecast, flurries are predicted over the next couple weeks off and on with cooler temperatures. It is going to be a great Christmas for snow.
If you are looking for a special New Years, we still have a room available at Vagabond Lodge. Give us a call at 250 344 2622 or emailinfo@vagabondlodge.ca. Rate is $310.00 per night plus tax with a 4 night minimum stay. Breakfast and lunch is included.
The video is from my first trip of the season up to T2 on Saturday.

After a couple of "Sneak Preview" weekends the resort and Vagabond Lodge is set to open for daily operation this Friday December 11th. Another storm is rolling through right now. The short video is out the window of Vagabond Lodge earlier in the day. Right now the resort has well over 360 cms of snowfall this winter and in the past week we have gotten about 70 cms of snow. I have been skiing on runs that were marginal at best for most of last season (lower part of the mountain) and it has been fantastic. What a treat. Top to bottom it is hard to find a rock or a bare patch. The only problem right now is when you fall down it is a challenge to get back up because of the deepness of the snow plus it hasn't been packed down yet.
If you are looking at a ski holiday, we still have a room left for New Years. Our rate is $279 with a 4 night minimum stay. Breakfast and lunch is included. You can contact us here at Vagabond Lodge 250 344 2622 or email info@vagabondlodge.ca
