SOLD!

Kicking Horse Resort is in negotiations to sell Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, with the sale expected to be complete within weeks.  Big changes afoot?  Well, the locals around Golden will certainly be hoping for some long-promised lift expansion plans to materialize.  Maybe we're one step closer. 

As we near Christmas 2011, snow is in the forecast, and conditions at the Horse and adjacent to are really shaping up.  Fuez Bowl and Super Bowl are yet to open, with some avalanche control work having bared a lot of rock, mostly in Fuez.  The main avalanche instability as of now is a deep layer of faceted snow crystals next to the ground, which these deep releases are attributed to.  Out of bounds of the resort has the same issues, so go where you know, or go guided!

See you in the pow!

Kicking Horse Opening

Two weeks early due to exceptional snow fall, Kicking Horse will be in full swing as of this Friday. The first weekend is sure to be a complete powder fest, with untracked runs all over the hill. What are you waiting for?

already good

First day out for the season, with the help of a snowmobile to get in to the goods. It was the type of skiing where you can't really see (or breathe) because of how deep the snow was. Think snorkel.

Hard to believe it's only Novemeber.

the new look

Canadian Powder Adventures has recently changed hands. And along with new ownership comes a new look, new logo, and as you can see here, a new website. But one thing hasn't changed; Canadian Powder Adventures still offers top quality guided ski tours and trips in one of the world's best ski destinations. Golden, British Columbia is pretty much a slice of heaven for skiers and boarders, espcially those keen to get out into the backcountry.

SUNSHINE AND POW !

January 2012 will remembered as one of the snowiest!  Storm after storm, with relatively mild temps made for an exceptional month of skiing here in the Golden area.  Looking ahead shows an extended period of bluebird days, a nice follow-up to a snowy start. 

Beyond the Gates; a number of layers within this season's snowpack continue to be a concern, and will be continually treated with respect.  With that in mind, we've been skiing the safer lines out of bounds and rewarded with plenty of face shots!  There's always somewhere safe to ski... 

C-Pow looks forward to running Champagne Resort and Heart & Soul group trips starting in the next few days, sure to see great conditions at the resorts visited; Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse, and Revelstoke.  Can't wait to get on the road with our guests!
