Scout loves
- The two bedroom condos have private hot tubs on their balconies.
- Many of the condos have great valley views.
- There is a BBQ area for all guests. There’s also a small kitchen that hotel guests can use.
Scout tips
- It is possible to ski in to the lodge and, with a bit of effort, you can nearly ski out. It’s also just a short walk down the road to the ski area base.
- The better views are from valley view rooms (not the mountainside rooms).
- Guests are required to check in at Glacier Lodge where there is a 24-hour reception during winter.
- The fitness center is very small with just one treadmill and a few weights.
SCOUT REVIEW
Situated right by the slopes, Palliser Lodge is the second biggest lodge in Kicking Horse.
When compared with its sister property Glacier Mountain, Palliser has larger rooms – making this property a good choice if you’re travelling as a group. The standard guest rooms include a kitchenette with microwave, fridge and dishwasher, while the one and two bed condos all have full kitchens with stainless steel appliances. The condos also come with washers, dryers and gas fireplaces.
The rooms and furnishings are simple but comfortable, and there are wooden floorboards throughout the rooms (there’s no carpet). Recently the rooms have been upgraded with flat screen TVs and white quilt covers – giving the rooms a fresh, modern feel.
Condos on the valley side have stunning views – it’s definitely worth requesting one of these because the mountainside rooms are darker and have more of a forest outlook.
The best rooms are unquestionably the two bedroom condos, thanks the fact they come with their own private balcony hot tub that looks out across breathtaking views.
Who should stay here
Palliser Lodge would be great for groups of friends, or families who want to be self-sufficient yet still relatively close to the action in Kicking Horse.
Location
Palliser Lodge is located a very short drive up the hill from the Kicking Horse ski area base. Check in is at Glacier Lodge. It is nearly possible to ski in and out from the property - it requires ajust a few steps at the most.

About Kicking Horse
Home to some of North America’s best expert terrain, Kicking Horse is still one of the best kept secrets in skiing. With over 60% of the terrain black and double-black diamond runs, Kicking Horse has earned a reputation for being one of the best resorts for advanced skiing and snowboarding. Being situated in the heart of British Columbia, snowfall is abundant and it's light, dry powder is a major drawcard (known as the Champagne Capital of Canada!). Minimal crowds, a great mountain-town vibe in nearby Golden, and one of the longest vertical in North America, Kicking Horse is a great option along the 'Powder Highway'.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
