Early morning drive from Lake Louise, Alberta to Golden, BC, home of Kicking Horse Resort.
Mixed snow conditions, packed powder at top, icy (un-skiable) lower mountain due to 3 days of mild temperatures. Skied 25,050 VF.
1) Sign reminded me of the boastfulness of a recent resort in Idaho.
2) Lower 2,000 vertical feet of resort is clearly seen. Upper 2,000' are along the two ridge lines in center of photo. Lift extend to top rear of knife edge ridges. Double Blacks off each side of ridges. Tree runs on the sides shown, cliffs and treeless bowls on opposite sides. Either side will make you pucker-up.
3) Base area, old lodge at left, the new to the right. Homes and condos galor out of site to left
After skiing, drove over avalanche prone Rogers Pass to Revelstoke. Big snow anticipate that evening.
