We’re well into the summer season here at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort! Stop in to visit Boo the Bear, explore our Mountain Bike Park via the Catamount Chairlift, or head out for a hike to take in breathtaking mountain views. There’s a lot happening this summer – here’s what’s coming up:
- 3 more races coming up in our 5er DH Bike Series
- Live”N”Local Summer Music Series on select weekend dates
- Stay tuned for the launch of our new Trail Running Series
Golden Eagle Express Update
The review into the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Golden Eagle Express Gondola incident remains ongoing. As the hanger-arm was the component involved, and in line with our commitment to safety, all gondola cabin hanger-arms will be replaced with newly manufactured parts. We’ve just received an update from the lift manufacturer: due to supply chain delays, the parts are now expected to ship during the first week of August. Once received, KHMR Maintenance will prioritize installation and begin preparing for the required inspection process.
Mountain Improvements Underway
A comprehensive mowing and brushing program is well underway to remove small trees and brush that have started to reclaim many lower mountain areas. Work is focused from the top of the Pioneer Chairlift down across the mountain, helping us open more runs earlier in the season with minimal snow coverage. We’re also undertaking major terrain modifications on two lower mountain runs — Porcupine and Wapiti — to improve the ski experience and support earlier openings in future seasons.
