Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm have the chance to go to kicking horse for a days skiing but I'm not sure whether it would be a little bit of a wasted trip given my ability. Has anyone been? Is it mainly extreme/steep terrain?
Is there enough there to keep me occupied skiing blues/greens (and easy blacks?) for a day?
Cheers!

IMO, it depends on the snow. If it's snowed recently, or there's fresh, then definitely. If it's boilerplate, don't bother. KH is the most snow sensitive place I've been to, as regards what you get out, IME.
There is enough terrain for confident intermediates for several days, if the snow's good. If nothing else, for a day, it's another one ticked off. Enjoy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Echo BCjohnny, Go if the snow is good for a day. Be careful that the snow is not too good as you could get stuck. . Week before last friends husband went for a days' boarding at KH , was meant to be back firday afternoon , got back sunday after having to drive via fernie, both Highway 1 (not tototally unusual ) and 93 from radium (much more unusual)were closed

Just go for the sheer experience of it! It's one of the most amazing places I've skied - I'm good but no expert and loved it as it was a challenge.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd go if the weather was clear just to eat lunch at the top.

Thanks guys, I think snow conditions are supposed to be good so I'm very tempted if nothing else to say I've been! Lunch at the top sounds cool

I went for a day and it was o.k.
If you're going at this time of the year it can get really cold, so double up with clothing.

Where are you going from?
Echo the above - Have had two days there - one brilliant; one awful.
