Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has a resident Grizzly Bear – Boo! Boo was orphaned at five months old, and thus, the Kicking Horse Grizzly Bear Refuge was born. The Refuge was explicitly built to provide a safe habitat for Boo to live and hibernate. Boo is almost 20 years old now and guests visiting have the opportunity to observe him hunt, play, and forage in his 20-acre home!
