Kicking horse kicks

Kicking Horse kicks @.... it really does!

You can choose to pay to ride one, or two chairlifts. The short one goes up 532m. The long ones goes up 1260m to an elevation of 2450m which is Canada's highest ski run. We chose to pay for both and so glad we did.

 

 The lower bike park has lots of bermy goodness and jumps and wooden features hidden among the trees. Plenty here to keep you happy all day.

 

 BUT!....ride the Golden Eagle to the top of the mountain and there are stunning views in all directions!  Jill was so excited to see the views that she fell over trying to get Gloria out of the gondola at the top. There were lots of people up there hiking and sightseeing as well as riding.

 

 First you ride down the road in this picture below into the alpine bowl and then you choose from numerous single track trails ...

 

 Here is Joel about half way down the road, looking back up to where we started and Canada's highest restaurant.

On the way down we worn torn between looking at the views and

watching the track, which was kind of important as it was a very long way down if you went off the edge

It took about an hour to ride all the way down (1260m of vertical drop) Gloria really wanted to do it again but Jill's hands and legs were beginning to hurt so we called it a day - and what a wonderful day of riding it was!  BTW - 30 degrees!
