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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

City of Kimberley receives $4.5M federal Gas Tax Fund contribution for reconstruction of Gerry Sorensen Way
Friday, 12 February 2016 by Cali Sammel

City of Kimberley receives $4.5M federal Gas Tax Fund contribution for reconstruction of Gerry Sorensen Way

KIMBERLEY, B.C.  –  The City of Kimberley is pleased to announce that it will receive the lesser of $4.5M or 100% of the costs for the Gerry Sorensen Way Reconstruction project under the Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund.

With an estimated 800,000 vehicle trips on Gerry Sorensen Way each year, local residents should benefit from reduced wear and tear on their vehicles.  As a resort municipality, the City of Kimberley is also interested in improving tourists’ perceptions and experiences in our City.  Travel between the downtown core and the Kimberley Alpine Resort, Trickle Creek Golf Course, Kimberley Nordic Centre, 500 condominiums, and 300 townhouses should be greatly improved.

The poor condition of Gerry Sorensen Way is largely due to poor drainage and improper subsurface materials from the original construction.  The annual patching of potholes and cracking has consumed approximately half of the City’s paving budget over the last five years.

The project will go out to tender in March.  The work on Gerry Sorensen Way will begin in May and finish in September 2016.

Quotes:

Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick states “Good roads create a positive impression of the community, and are a visible indication to taxpayers that their tax money is being well spent.  Virtually every visitor that comes to Kimberley drives Gerry Sorensen Way, as does the majority of residents on a regular basis. Our highest profile road needs to be one of our best. We are thrilled to be able to do the work this year.”

Don McCormick, Mayor, City of Kimberley

“Through the federal Gas Tax Fund, the Government of Canada is allowing communities in BC, and all across Canada, to make informed decisions about their infrastructure investments and how best to spend federal dollars. Community officials are best positioned to identify their specific needs, and the federal Gas Tax fund supports them in making those strategic investments. These 57 projects will contribute to building the strong, inclusive and sustainable communities Canadians desire to live in.”

Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

“These funds will help support the construction of infrastructure improvements that will provide a better standard of living for residents in communities all across B.C. I’m pleased to say that local governments throughout the province are receiving more than $69 million in funding for 27 capital projects through the Federal Ga s Tax Fund, which is administered by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and provided by the Government of Canada.”

Honourable Peter Fassbender, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development

“Investments through the federal Gas Tax Fund are helping British Columbia’s municipalities address their local infrastructure priorities, while creating jobs and supporting economic growth.  Gas tax funding is important for building and improving critical transportation infrastructure, including the bridge in Zeballos and other municipal facilities. We thank the federal government for its support from this fund, which will make way for a number of worthwhile projects around B.C. to complement our 10-year transportation plan – B.C. on the Move.”

The Honourable Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure

“The federal Gas Tax Fund is helping local governments accelerate their capital investment plans. These investments will support improved levels of service for facilities in communities throughout BC. The 189 local governments that we represent appreciate the ongoing commitment of the Government of Canada to improving local infrastructure. We are also pleased with the valued support provided by the Province of British Columbia to deliver this program.”

Al Richmond, President, Union of BC Municipalities
