A little more La Nina a little less El Nino
Thursday, 16 June 2016 by Cali Sammel

That’s what the experts are saying.  And while many people across Canada may be rolling their eyes, for winter outdoor enthusiasts it’s music to their ears.

What is La Nina anyways?
La Niña is the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and is associated with cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.  (According to Wikipedia)

Okay, but what does that really mean?
According to Dave Phillips, senior climatologist at Environment Canada – “In B.C. there is a high probability that we can expect a more frigid winter.  A little cooler, a little bit more snow..”

Read more about what exactly La Nina means and more from Dave Phillips on the CBC website.

For a longer and even more scientific explanation of La Nina visit the Weather Network website.

In conclusion,
La Nina = Happy Skiers & Snowboarders

Easter Chair’s Off Season TLC treatments
Monday, 13 June 2016 by Cali Sammel

Kimberley's Easter Chair gearbox being removed for a well-deserved rebuild and serviceThe Easter Chair is an oldie but a goodie, adding charm and character to the back side of Kimberley Alpine Resort. Like all old girls she loves care and attention, a process which started back in 2010 with a new diesel engine and transmission.  2011 brought a whole “new” set of chairs, care of retiring Nakiska’s Gold Chair to its new home in Fernie on the Polar Peak.

This year the love comes in the form of a complete service and rebuild of the gear box. Unlike a modern lift where you can pop the gear box out of the drive station by undoing a few bolts, for Easter this means taking the haul rope off, dropping the bull wheel, then craning out the gear box. Good thing we won’t need to do this for another 25 years or so!

8 Numbers the Snow Report Won’t Give You (and 2 it does)
Thursday, 25 February 2016 by Cali Sammel

Words by Cali Sammel
Photos by Tourism Kimberley, The Real Mckenzie Photography and Mike Reece.

The ski (and tourism) industry are run by numbers and stats – i.e how many runs the mountain offers, how many centimeters or feet of snowfall received, how many other things can I do while visiting?  Well, here are some interesting Kimberley numbers you might be less familiar with!

10
historic points of interest.  Kimberley Alpine Resort and the city of Kimberley, B.C have a strong history in mining, leading the town and resort to have many names and areas that pay homage to the industry.  Find out more about the points of interest on our website – https://skikimberley.com/things-to-do/points-of-interest/.

Ryan Mckenzie9 
feet of fire!  A favourite tradition of the locals and staff in Kimberley is the annual Ullr Dag ski burning ceremony.  Near the beginning of each year, there is a gathering and offering to the Norse god of snow by burning old skis and hoping to appease the god to bring the perfect purcell powder falling all season long.

8
in the morning
– NEW this season, Montana’s opens for breakfast at 8:00am on Friday, Saturday & Sundays (8:30 am Monday through Thursday).  Montana’s is located in Trickle Creek Lodge in the base area at Kimberley Alpine Resort.

7
hundred!
Hectares of skiable terrain, now that should keep you occupied for a wee bit of time!

6
thousand!
 Our lift capacity per hour, it’s easy to keep those slopes uncrowded with that kind of movement.

5 XCSki_TourismKimberley
kilometers of cross country ski track.
  There are various cross country ski tracks near Kimberley Alpine Resort, maintained by the Kimberley Nordic Club, loops are 7 km, 5 km and 3 km in length.

4
months to night ski! 
From mid December to mid March, enjoy Night Skiing on our main run (and the longest lit run in North America) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.  Don’t forget to check out the ‘Rec Rut Runners’ our Thursday night race series or our Friday College Nights!  Visit the Online Events Calendar for more information.

3 DSC_6241
hours of Fat Biking!  Try the newest and hottest winter outdoor activity craze and take a Fat Biking tour around Trickle Creek Golf Resort.  Rent it for just $45 – email the Winter Sports School (skischool@skikimberley.com) for more information or see the Fat Bike section on our website.

2
awesome après spots on mountain.
  Head up the stairs and check out The Stemwinder – featuring a variety of daily food and drink specials as well as local jam nights and live après music every single weekend throughout the season!  Got kids?  Montana’s is the place to be, with views of the ski resort and a restaurant for the whole family to enjoy a beverage or after ski snack together.  (Note – Stemwinder is kid friendly as well – ask our staff for ‘kid friendly’ hours).

1
Good Place to Be.
   Kimberley is: A Good Place to Be… “all together now, finding adventure, closer together, pinnin’ it, roughing it with friends” or whatever else you choose to do here!

    1. Descending Everest – downhill ski or snowboard 16 passes of the main run at the Kimberley Alpine Resort.

2.  The Everest Trek – ski 24 kms at the Kimberley Nordic Club (4 loops of the 6 km trail).

There will be an apres-event with entertainment and prizes awarded at the end of the day for both challenges.For more details on the event and each of the challenges, click here.

In addition to the $20 per person registration fee, we ask that all participants fundraise to support the Canadian Cancer Society.
