British Columbia Magazine - Kicking Horse Resort in Golden, B.C.
Nestled in between the silver-blue peaks of the Columbia Mountains and the Canadian Rockies, Golden is an authentic ski town that procures the feel of an alpine village. Located in the Kootenay region of south-eastern British Columbia, Golden has a range of outdoor winter activities, from sledding to snowshoeing to cross-country skiing.
Unlike the majority of B.C., Golden runs on Mountain Standard Time. The quaint city of nearly 4,000 locals has a hockey team, a dance studio, an art gallery and a local farmer’s market. The semi-permanent population of seasonaries greet each other on the streets, keeping the town feeling balanced between being overrun with tourists or stagnant with born-and-raised locals.
