Of all the big-mountain meccas in North America, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (KHRM) might be the best bang for your buck. A long-time local favorite in Golden, British Columbia, the ski area boasts over 4,300 vertical feet, has hosted the Freeride World Tour several times and features more cliffs, chutes and puckering lines than most resorts could ever dream of.

All that to say, when word got out that KHMR was having a banner winter last season , a few of Faction's finest North American riders rallied for the cause. Andrew Pollard, Townsend Reed, Sophia Rouches, Duncan Adams and FREESKIER 29.1 cover stud Blake Wilson hit the road and headed north, with the incredible Blue Max Media behind the lens.

Pow turns, pillow lines, flat 3s and more; join this legendary crew as they explore one of the best-kept secrets in Canada. And if you like the style of these skiers, be sure to check out their weapons of choice: Faction's rejuvenated 2027 Dancer line.

Kicking Horse is Canada’s freeride capital. Faction athletes Andrew Pollard, Townsend Reed, Blake Wilson, Sophia Rouches and Duncan Adams hot-footed it to lap up its legendary terrain after a heavy BC storm system.
