This set of rigorous procedures and operating plans is to help ensure our guests, staff and community have a safe winter in Kimberley.
Despite all of the planning we have done, It is everyone’s responsibility to follow the guidelines that we have put in place, as we all want a long season, and a safe skiing and riding experience.
Here are some of the changes you can expect at the resort this season:
- Face coverings are required to be worn throughout the entire resort, inside all buildings, in lift lines, while riding lifts, parking lots and our Plaza.
- As a result of our safety protocols surrounding the COVID Virus and looking to create a safe environment for our guests, this season we will be closely monitoring lift capacity and ticket sales to help ensure that we can manage daily the number of people at Kimberley Alpine Resort. Day lift tickets will be available at our resort ticket windows daily and online. However, on high demand days only a certain number of day lift tickets will be sold – so one should use the opportunity to pre-purchase your lift tickets online to guarantee you get the ski day’s you want.
- Lift lines will be adjusted and stretched out to accommodate physical distancing of 2m between cohort groups.
- We are following all restaurant guidelines, reservations and walk-ins are welcome at Stemwinder and Buckhorn and Main, but due to limited capacity, reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made in advance through Opentable.ca or skikimberley.com
- The Kootenay Haus will be opening a bit later this season with exciting lunch options.
- Slopeside will be open for public washrooms, ATM and repair access only. There will be no bag storage in Slopeside or in any other buildings. Therefore it is required that you gear up, and leave your belongings in your vehicle.
- There will be capacity restrictions in place for other outlets so make sure to read signs as you enter and follow the directions. This includes the Rental Shop, so it is strongly recommended that you pre-purchase online to speed up the process for yourself.
Now more so than ever before it is important to Know Before You Go. Keep yourself updated on any new developments, make sure to visit our COVID19 information page.
We appreciate your patience, understanding and cooperation – “Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe”
