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.
- Ski-in Ski-out or slopeside
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'.
