kicking horse is awesome! it's about two hours from banff and next to the town of golden, which is small but quaint BC town. its got great big mountain riding and ZERO crowds. the place is huge with tons of natural terrain. the tree runs are amazing and there is tons of backcountry to explore. it doesn't get tons of snow but kicking horse is the sh|T on a pow day. it's a really local mountain, you're not going to have to deal with the mobs of people so that's probably a good thing if you're working there. on the flipside, things might get kind of boring if you're there for a whole season.

kicking horse, thumbs up!!
loads of snow this season and loads more than what the piste map shows, everything within bounds is rideable and there is a ton of hidden stuff to play with which isnt on the map, like the mountain bike roller coaster rides!
