2025 dates - March 28-30
PLEASE NOTE: The main Gondola at Kicking Horse has experienced a mechanical failure and may not be operational in time for the race. The race is still on! At this time we are not expecting any changes to the racer experience, other than way more fresh snow on the course. If the resort is not able to stay operational in their high alpine terrain, we will postpone the event until 2026 and refund entries (if the alpine is partially closed by mountain safety under typical circumstances, we will reroute as necessary the same as any other year).
STEEP DREAMS is a three-day celebration of skiing and ski mountaineering at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, BC.
Day One, Friday, will include a vertical race as well as various clinics and opportunities to check out the course, practice skills, and generally ski your face off.
Day Two features an Individual race - one of four on the Canada Cup circuit, focused on full value terrain. Also included in this event are Masters, Junior, and Recreational categories.
The third day of the festival showcases even bigger terrain with the only teams race in Canada, and one of very few in North America. This will take racers, in teams of two, through the gnarliest/awesomest terrain Kicking Horse and the Dogtooth Range has to offer - and remember, this mountain is a stop on the Freeride World Tour, so we have lots of options to work with.
The weekend will also feature gear rentals, skimo clinics, awards and a banquet.
