Canada 150: 4 Sports in 1 bowl!
KHMR Celebrates Canada 150: 4 sports, 1 bowl, 1 cinematic shot
Canada’s turning 150 this year, and here at Kicking Horse we wanted to create a visual piece as a tribute to our country. Create a meaningful visual piece that could illustrate what we live for. Why we live here. Why we all think Canada is a beautiful place to live.
There’s a strong outdoor community here in Golden BC, with tons of highly motivated, extremely rad and borderline super-humans that live and breathe for extreme outdoor sports & to get that adrenaline rush. They live for it and don’t feel the need to yell it out loud from a roof top. There is no game, no BS, just some genuine, authentic folks that just want to get out & do it to fulfill their passion, not to get likes on Instagram.
To celebrate Canada’s 150 birthday properely, our Via Ferrata Manager, Nick Comstock pitched the idea of doing a video that will include all the sports you can do at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in 1 single shot, at the same time in the same alpine bowl. So we rounded up our rowdiest folks from Mountain Safety, Trail Crew & Summer Guides to throw down a sweet video dedicated to our beautiful country, to this off the grid little town that has it all.
Make sure to turn your volume up and to hit that HD button!
Enjoy,

JESSICA PYPER
Local Yoga Instructor and avid Snowboarder & Mountain biker, this girl is getting after it on a daily basis! Keepin’ up with the Oatway Productions boys is not easy, but it sure trained Jessica to wrangle herself in & out of the steepest and sketchiest lines without a hitch!
CHRIS MCVEY
This local shredder only has interest for big mountain lines! Chris will always ride where you thought it was impossible to ride, while capturing some major air time. Don’t miss this guy’s run!
LANE CLARK
Lane Clark aka Flame McNeil. Ex rodeo clown now Coach for the Rocky Mountain Freeriders. His motto: “If the women don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy”.
RYAN FORD
Head coach of the GKHAT (local ski racing team) & level 3 coach certified, Ryan’s style is simple: technical, non-stop and loose, he’s definitely happiest with one foot up in the air, doing big turns, and traveling at a high speed. Be on the watch for his run, because it’s going to be a fast one!
DEVON RANDALL
Devon Randall aka Bad Randy, grew up thirty minutes south of town in Parson home of the world’s largest paddle. Words to live by “take your loose airs with your loose women” fast one!

Glorify your summer on the Hanging Glory Suspension Bridge
Glorify your summer on the Hanging Glory Suspension Bridge
You’ve likely heard of the Via Ferrata, a fixed climbing route running along the Terminator peak of the resort, what you might not know is the path to the Via Ferrata is across a suspension bridge. The ‘Hanging Glory’ suspension bridge transports brave guests from the ridgeline just below Eagle’s Eye over to the base of Terminator peak. NEW this summer, walk to suspension bridge and circle back to the restaurant before starting the Via Ferrata, with the new suspension bridge option guests who are too nervous to do the whole course or too young to meet our safety restrictions can get a taste of the rush on Hanging Glory. (For the especially adventurous, trying actually hanging off hanging glory, don’t worry, you’re harnessed safely to the bridge).
