KHMR is located 14 km above Golden, BC and features the fourth highest vertical drop in North America (4,133ft or 1,260m) and boasts almost 3,000 skiable, lift-serviced terrain and an extensive backcountry playground surrounding the resort. KHMR’s development began in 1999 on Ballast Nedam’s purchase of the community operated Whitetooth Ski Area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicking_Horse_Mountain_Resort
