- Kicking Horse, British Columbia. This segment from Warren Miller's "HERE, THERE & EVERYWHERE" features one of North America's largest ski resorts, and also the self-proclaimed "champagne powder capital of Canada." And if you've been lucky enough to ski there, you probably wouldn't disagree with that statement. But the real magic of Kicking Horse lies in its ski patrollers... they are the backbone of the mountain.
Staring out over the vast mountain expanses, with the rising sun glistening on the crystalline snow, makes for a significantly better "view from the office" than the typical cubicle, and these ski patrollers would choose that first option, any day. Professional big mountain skiers, Kaylin Richardson, Matt Elliott, and Marcus Caston, would also all have to agree with that conclusion, especially after this epic time spent ripping around KHMR.

Kicking horse is the best. Amazing terrain, in bounds. Big respect to the patrollers trying to keep everything safe
Going there for the first time this season. Is there a lot of hiking to terrain?
@@cvn6555 yes... almost all best terrain is hike to... hike up T1/T2, ozone...fingers crossed for a good snow year ;)
My life was saved by this crew... I'm forever thankful!
Defiantly a fun place to ski. The patrollers have a fun job but also very serious. Hats off to all Ski Patroller's.
Ski patrol should be the highest paid department on the entire mountain, on *every* mountain.
And I say that as a Snowmaker in Colorado.
Patrollers put their own lives on the line to serve, protect and save people every day.
Patrol always has my utmost respect.
I started at the age of 16, Patrolling Ski Acres at Snoqualmie Pass in the mid 60s. Made my way to the German Alps, and then back to Lake Tahoe. Great days, great people, and the idea that we were there to help was a fantastic feeling!

On a bad day Kicking horse can be brutal. On the best days it's got to be one of the best hills in the world for a very advanced skier. Unbelievable terrain off of T1. I grew up skiing there and it's pretty hard to find challenging terrain when going to other resorts now.
What a great video! I patrolled for almost 20 years before I became a firefighter/medic. Then enjoyed another great career. Still love those ski days though. I’ll be at Schweitzer next year in Idaho
Schweitzer is a great mountain. Truly an underrated gem.
I patrolled 17 years, 15 of them as first aid instructor. I worked in oil and gas as an engineer and got moved to a different city every few years. The first objective once we found a new house was to find out where Canadian Ski Patrol was trolling. Back then it was common to kick the volunteers out and hire paid patrollers. After a few years hills realized their 6 paid pro trollers did not match 23 volunteers on weekends.
@@owencoventry2435 How is Schweitzer? We live here in Idaho and I've only skied Sun Valley and that was for free because we played the Sun Valley Suns hockey team in a full contact tournament. Sun Valley was awesome! But I've always wondered how Brundage, Tamarack, Schweitzer, Lookout, Pomerelle, Lost Trail, Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole compare. I have skied most of the Utah resorts, Park City, Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley because my brother went to the U and played hockey while also almost becoming a professional skier and I tried following him down those double blacks at Alta and man those were steep.
Got inspired every time rewatching this video. Thankful to all the ski patrols out there!
The laughter said it all thanks to all you pattorlers for keeping it safe for us cause I wouldn't know what to do with out you love and kisses 😘
Honestly, when I see nothing but full side to side ski cuts (no fun turns) when I get up there to slay pow, I know one of two things is true; either conditions are extra spicy, or whoever did control on that route is new. Go ahead and ski, you've earned it
This was very entertaining! When I made my living patrolling one of the biggest mountains in the US, yes it was very serious, but we also pigged as much powder as we could while setting up the lower mountain since avalanche terrain is usually on the upper mountain. It was a well earned perk for a tough job! We also had secret stashes, but they were legitimately closed to the public for real safety concerns. One of those places was a narrow slot with a cliff band in it. The char ran over the top. I was standing at the top of the cliff figuring out my line one day when a guy on the lift looked down and instantly named the "run" .... he dubbed it "shear madness". Such a great name!
0:27 i was kind of expecting him to say: "And yeah, that summs it up pretty good" :D
Been there. Worth it. No boot pack too long.
Went to Kicking Horse during Vancouver Olympics, it was phenomenal. Have wanted to return ever since.
Maybe my favorite segment of all time.
Thanks very much.
Love this content! Thank the Trollers at your local hill people, they work very hard to keep you safe.
Kicking Horse is LEGIT! Cannot wait to go back!
Great video, great editing and filming! Love Kicking Horse culture! Yes, no cells phone or shopping culture! Not a frendly place for snoby and yuppies skiers and their disgusting attitude. This place is only for those onces that really love skiing and this place! Hardcores skiers only!!! Hats off to this place and the locals!
I am heading there this year. I have heard it is kind of like Jackson. Any advice or recommendations?
That place just made the bucket list
Thank you ski patrol!
Awesome video!!!
Really great editing & narration!
Good video it was really cool watching close ups of people's faces every 7 seconds.

(There are those 10-15 minute windows where the sun, and light interact with the atmospheric conditions at 9-11k elevation that are completely magical.
Greatly appreciated, wonderful talented congratulations 👌👌👌
Just got the oec and avi 1, cant wait to be one of the team!
Kicking horse was one of the most wild ski resorts I've ever been too. Glad we went there on day 3 or our trip instead of 7 cause I'd rather have no strength left at Red mountain than the horse.
This is a SWEEEEEET video
motivated to be a skii patroler at kicking horse!
They all shred, but the dude in the green pants is a monster.
The special thing is, that a gondola brings you up 1200m true vertical drop without any middle station. So it is a very effective Skiarea.
Come on dude, you’re totally up there skiing the POW before the rest of us get any! Lol
they only do that "to get down", I'm sure he's frowning with boredom under that mask. lol
I met a patroller who started down the path for just that reason, lol. Maybe first chair was just the icing on the cake for him.
Snowboard instructor from Tahoe (Northstar and Squaw) here: they do get fresh turns...they know the snow and terrain better than most people at the resort. If you ask, they usually know the BEST spots at their mountain on any given day. And thank them, dag nabbit, ski patrol is in a way the glue that binds a resort together; they do more than you think, much more than you usually see as just a skier or snowboarder.
Kicking Horse Coffee + Moosehead + Skill + Hard Work + Safety + Teamwork = Ski Patrol Magic
Kicking Horse is the best lift-served bc/big mountain skiing in British Columbia and anywhere.
It's also the powder capitol of the world. See You All Soon! Eh?
Special Thanks to all the patrollers who fight the fires in summer. Serious Double-Duty.
Warren Miller was one of the original extreme skiers. Only WME could make the best patrol video.
in the good old days of forecasting and patrolling we were always the first out there doing our 'comparative snow structural tests' . . . someone has to do it to keep the people safe, see ya down the road
kaylin richardson the Olympian? awesome!
omg. Character development before 0:46. So good. I thought the narrator's face should show up a tad early cuz the vocal signal wasn't the best but man, the story telling. That's what this video is at. So it's not easy to make a great documentary style ad. Great stuff!!!
THANK YOU - ALL SKI PATROLS!
And super sweep
It's a magical place in its own right...
Gotta love patrollers that can rip it anywhere the crazies can…
One more day in the office
Good vibes, love it 🤙
Best safety gear hands down: bacon in your back pocket!
Being on your period works better!
Totally agree when combined with a healthy respect for what can happen in snow like that...I’ve met people who thought they could treat backcountry like they were hiking a sledding hill because they had a beacon. Needless to say, not a crew I chose to ride with, lol.
@@simpsons721 then how about bacon in your - never mind…
As a backcountry snowmobiler here in Utah for over twenty years, the best safety gear is the six inches between your ears. Fools get lured into bad situations. Fresh pow is and will always be tempting.
@@superyamagucci hot pocket! 😆
Found my dream job
Way too cool, getting paid to SHRED!
lol... A love lettter to Ski Patrol... and then most of the footage they show is uncontrolled areas. "Look at all the work we do to over here to keep the mountain safe!" "Awesome work! we're going to hike about 500m away so we can film the fresh snow you haven't touched!"
A large amount of the terrain at this resort requires hiking. Have to be in good shape.
Making those Cochises flop! Not the tightest turning ski in the quiver... but oh gosh, the glory.
The laughing at the end was stuff of nightmares
I’m really trying to do this.
So dope! Thank you for everything you to shit safe!
Think I missed my calling by, "about"( in my best Canadian accent) 30 years
It is incredible what the human body can do and take. Also the incredible curiosity that led to the incredible people intelligent enough to create the science that lets these incredible patrolers do their job. So glad to hear they love it and have a passion for it. My ski Instructor flows like liquid mercury and is passionate about teaching skiing. Even to all the work it takes to be part of the organization that examines instructors for advancement. Thanks for sharing their stories, the gorgeous cinematography.
ok now that I know the purpose of my life, how do I get to this?
Honestly, I think they deserve first turns.
May Canada always have snow.
where can i sign up???????????
海外すげええ
How does thd heli hanson channel on ly have 6 thousand suscribers.
Patrollers should get plenty of first turns! They know how to ski "out of bounds terrain" so as not to upset the "Karen's"
Big fuckin' ballz. I'm glad I'm not even 10% good enough to consider going there. Looks sooo scary.

I don’t think there’s any cell service in any of my favorite spots in this world.
How do you get a job like this? What qualifications and who do you need to know?
Try volunteering with the Canadian Ski Patrol. Get training and experience, then you might be lucky enough to get paid to do it! (I know, it happened to me).
CSP is a really great experience too. You will be a way better first aider at the end of your first year
Why doesn't Kicking Horse have cell phone coverage??? It does have service....unless you're skiing out of bounds on the backside.
I've never thought of patrol people as dirtbags. They earn the right.
Cell phone service is needed if you fall in a location where patrollers might not find you.
Love Kho, but saying these lines are a 10 minute hike away is a bit of an exaggeration
they actually are tho
Depending on how fast you hike.
@OatwayProductions are you up for offering any details as to where I may find some lines as seen in the video ?? Please and thank you 🙏🫶
They think it's a "dirtbag job". A little exaggeration there buddy.
Definitely not dirt bag out in big mountains. Northeast on the other hand, these patrollers are out and bout hitting first tracks. I’ve seen them while skinning to the top bright and early.
What's so rewarding about being a patroller is all the cribbage
Dafuq, they have a cannon? I want one.
More like a howitzer, I think....
The biggest problem I had at Kicking Horse was getting to the bottom lodge after skiing hard all day. Wobbly legs are psychologically so annoying!
Kids ski videos
Kyle, no one thinks that... seriously why would you have that belief
we thank you all for your service
6:50 that was sketch, landong on trees is not fun
She’s wasting a lot of coffee grinds, I would scale back her ‘grind amount’ on the breville.
That's what you took away from all of this..?
@@Breyfogle126 beside being a good psa on ski patrol and making me want to visit kicking horse more than ever, not really, her coffee grind waste needed to be pointed out by someone. I choose to be that guy for some reason yesterday. Also I rarely post.
From my experience, these stupid machines always grind too much, even at the lowest setting. This is why I always set the grinding time manually, by the eye.
The breville espresso machine has custom grind settings. Also you can stop the grind in mid-grinding action by pressing the puck inwards to stop the grinding.
@@MrCharleyq As for my answer to these custom settings, read my previous comment again. As for the manual control, I prefer to push the portafilter for the whole time and release the push to stop grinding, because releasing is quicker and less motion than pushing again, thus more control and less spilling. I release just when grains start spilling to the brims of the portafilter.
So is this an ad or something?
Why should I go here this season from California?
Just to get out of CA.
Absolutely, it's an ad for Helly Hansen gear & Kicking Horse Resort in Golden, BC. Skiing & snowboarding are all about the weather, so destination skiing is always a gamble. Who knows, maybe Cali will have an amazing snow year.
You could do without the totally disconnected music.
Only one inaccuracy. It is 100% a dirtbag job 😂 just happens to be a dirtbag keeping you safe.
Narrator is annoying. Film is good.
Try not to back it up with trash intro "music."
