Another corner of the Kicking Horse Canyon B&B provides satellite TV with a wide selection of channels. When you're not relaxing at the guest house, or enjoying Jeannie's breakfasts, the Golden area offers excellent walking and hiking trails, biking, canoeing, kayaking and rafting, mountaineering, and, in the winter, downhill skiing, cat skiing and heli-skiing.

We enjoy so much the company of our guests who come from all parts of Europe, Canada and the USA, as well as from many parts of the Pacific Rim and Asia. These folks certainly enjoyed staying in our rustic log guest house.

Here are a few more winter shots of the grounds surrounding our Golden BC Guest House. Our neighborhood deer are never very far away, and they often forage in our yard. Sometimes, we will get a glimpse of a bear, but they tend to stay away.

Golden has many winter activities that bring visitors here from far and wide. As mentioned above, Purcell Heliskiing is based just a few minutes away and Great Canadian Heliskiing and Chatter Creek Snowcat Skiing are also based in Golden.

Golden is the starting point for the guests of a number of backcountry lodges. These remote lodges host mountaineers and backcountry touring and telemark skiers from around the world. See our Favorite links page for our list of local backcountry lodges.

Due to the risk of occasional highway closures after large storms, skiers and snowboarders heading to a backcountry lodge will often arrive in Golden a day before, so as to be sure not to miss their connecting transportation, which is often a helicopter. Once the helicopter leaves, there is no second flight! The Kicking Horse Canyon B&B goes out of its way to accommodate and assist these backcountry skiers and snowboarders. Ask about our special rates.

In addition to many opportunities for backcountry skiing, Golden is home to the famous Kicking Horse Resort and the Panorama mountain ski village is just a short drive to the south.
