There’s a great deal of Canadian history here; right now there’s rapid growth with investment in both lifts & high quality slope side accommodation. The reason for all the investment is the resort’s ideal geographic position - which means it gets ample supplies of light, dry snow - it’s ‘champagne powder heaven’.
Stay here for easy access to great slopes, good quality accommodation & top rate restaurants. If you opt for ski or board tuition then video analysis is included for all 6 day courses.

Beginners
With 15 beginners runs in the resort, all within the treeline, Kicking Horse offers beautiful surroundings in which to learn. Couple this with a first rate ski and snowboard school, you'll be venturing higher up into the more challenging, pristine slopes in no time!
Intermediates
This resort is an intermediates dream with plenty to keep you occupied for the whole of your stay. Test yourself on the variety of off-piste slopes in the world famous Kicking Horse 'Champagne Powder', or take a trained guide and experience the whole mountain in the Performance Guiding classes.
Advanced
This mountain range was almost made for the advanced skier or boarder, with it's two ridges, CPR Ridge and Redemption Ridge. The most challenging runs in the resort offer single and double Black Diamond chutes and steeps, all of it off-piste, but within the patrolled ski area. If you want to make a name for yourself in the resort then try Run 93 from the top of Terminator Peak on the edge of the ski boundary, only for the most experienced of skiers and definitely not for the faint hearted!
Snowboarding
Snowboarders will love the off-piste here, as the Champagne Powder will make it feel like your floating down the slopes! There's no board park for anyone wanting some air time in Kicking Horse, but this resort will definitely suit those Big Mountain boarders.
Heli-Skiing
‘Dream less live more’ - that’s the ethos behind the heli skiing company that we are working with. ‘Great Canadian Heli-Skiing’ has been operating from Golden since 1988 & offers all-inclusive heli-skiing experiences in the powder-belt of the Selkirk & Purcell ranges of the Columbia Mountains. Expedition parties are small & personal being just four guests & one certified professional guide. You will stay in the secluded Heather Mountain Lodge at 1200m, home to amazing cuisine & stunning panoramic views.

About Neilson
We've been around for around 25 years. We started as two separate companies, one providing top-end ski holidays and the other taking people sailing in Greece. For around two decades we became better and better at putting together holidays, one company doing fun things in the snow, the other having adventures in the Med. Then, in 1999, Thomas Cook, who owned both companies, decided that it would make sense for us to join together. That was when the famous orange logo appeared, and Neilson as we know it came into existence.
