Kimberley Alpine Resort

We have been coming here for the past 17 years. We bought a house down the street from the ski hill and we ski every year.
I taught both my kids on this hill and we used to put them in lessons when they were younger.
We love coming here and look forward to it every year!

Just returned to Kimberly after a ski trip in Fernie and the difference between the two locations is great. OK on the third day in Fernie we had a dump of snow and it was good powder, and amazing. Hard to beat. Nevertheless, Fernie was much better prepared on the runs. And the variety of lower runs in Blue and Green allows for a fun day. While Kimberly has the long North Star quad chair lift, and the blues and a few greens are long and converge on the bridge to the start of the lift. So a real bottleneck. And after the bridge to run down to the lift is not green.. Once up the North Star you can move over to the backside, but they are not always well groomed runs. In fact I was on Vimy Ridge and the run surveyor was having a real argument on the phone with the director about opening runs. It would also be nice if somebody took a brush cutter to the pines growing on the runs.

The RCR staff at the locations seem to come from different planets, the Fernie staff are great friendly and helpful. And the ski patrol is on the ball. You can't say that of Kimberly at all. Except being for the cafe staff they are friendly..

Beautiful place, quiet room. Nice pool and hot tub area. The restaurant was very nice.

2 stars given are for mother nature and the fantastic snow and terrain provided. 1 star for the groomers, ski patrol and liftys.
No stars for RCR and they're amazing ability to foster and nurture a small town ski culture. Enjoy the basement you cheep brown baggers.

Great ski hill for beginner to intermediate skiers.

If you’re looking for something a bit more interesting try going to the far north side and jumping in beyond the patrol lines. We found some fun fresh snow in there !
