Spring Ski @ Marmot Basin

2010-03-25

Marmot Basins snow conditions are superb and skiers and riders will not find better anywhere, they are wide open until April 25. Meet the past Olympic champion and newly awarded Silver Medalist on Canadian Soil, Jennifer Heil. She will be signing autographs at the Paradise Chalet at mid mountain at 1:00 on April 3. If you have not yet tried out the new Canadian Rockies Express Chairlift you must do so before the season is over. It is the biggest and fastest in the Canadian Rockies and people are loving it. One of the MagicBus Guides quoted Wednesday after his day at Marmot Basin that it was one of his best days ever.

U-Drive to Kicking Horse

2010-02-25

MagicBus now has U-Drive packages to Golden's world famous Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Experience some of the best snow in western Canada before the season ends.

Package include 2 nights of accommodation at the Prestige Inn located in the town of Golden and a 2 day lift pass at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Prices are for Adults and Students based on per person and include all taxes:

Single: $379
Double: $269
Triple: $229
Quad: $209

Each year at Kicking Horse we’re lucky enough to receive on average more than 7 meters (23 feet) of some of the lightest, driest and deepest powder snow on the planet. The majestic mountains surrounding us, and our phenomenal snow pack, are the reasons why our area has such historic mountain culture. It’s also why we’re surrounded by the highest concentration of beautiful back-country lodges, off piste skiing, and mechanized ski operations (both cat and heli) in all of Canada.

BC Ski Conditions at Kicking Horse

Current conditions come directly from our mid-mountain weather plot. No fudging the figures at Kicking Horse, we take the data straight from the weather station every hour and publish it on our website for all to see. For the non-snow scientists we also interpret the raw data for you to make it easier to understand.
