We’re Glade you Came
Friday, 30 October 2015 by Cali Burk

Set between the Selkirk and Rocky mountains in southeastern BC, Kimberley Alpine Resort is known for its sunny disposition. And why not — when you receive more bluebird days than any other resort in the province, you can’t help but spread the warmth, and the wealth. Here, all ages and abilities flock to runs that shoot through open glades, while the Easter Bowl, on the mountain’s backside, promises seemingly non-stop fall lines and heart-thrumming steeps. For smoother cruising, stick to the front face of the mountain where powder-packed runs, including a brand new green run dubbed Alpine Slide, will deliver less torque and more opportunity to take in the terrain. Bonus: making tracks on this side will deliver you to the front steps of Kimberley’s bustling après-ski action. Come day’s end, you’ll dig into locally inspired dishes — just don’t forget to raise a glass. After all, Kimberley’s forecast promises nothing but sunny skies!

When it comes to family fun in BC, Kimberley Alpine Resort, near Cranbrook, sets a beguiling scene — both on and off the slopes. To start, little ones_MG_1937 can point their tips along Kimberley’s Kids Trail, a cool way for pint-sized powderhounds to make their own tracks through the woods. Be advised: adults encouraged to follow along would do well to maintain a tuck position or risk knocking their helmets on overhanging branches. (No parent wants to join the ranks of the “Dummies in the Trees,” a.k.a. festive “characters” hidden throughout the resort that, when discovered, elicit a gleeful shriek from Kimberley’s smallest skiers and boarders.)  Off slope offers no less with Kimberley’s Kids Learning Area adjacent ski-in/ski-out accommodations and slopeside hot tubs, ensuring that parents can watch their kids ski while soaking up the mountain ambiance. And come nightfall, the resort’s village skating pond will illuminate an evening of spins and jumps, topped off with a crackling bonfire perfect for marshmallow roasts.

Now for the real Glade story, the local’s tip;
Our favourite run is called Geneva in the black forest, a long “black” leg burner with very interesting and variable terrain. It’s the first stop after a large overnight powder dump.

We’re glade you came, and we’re sure you’ll be glade you came as well!

Kimberley – Small Town Charm/Big Mountain Experience
Friday, 30 October 2015 by Cali Burk

Kimberley is cute.  There is no other way to put it.  Actually, there is – Kimberley is quaint, adorable, homey, comfortable, charming, pleasant and just plain delightful.  Its atmosphere gives you those warm and fuzzy feelings you only get from places you truly love.

KAR Mayhem in the Plaza - Feb 22If you’re looking for a resort village and nearby town to get away from regular city life – all the traffic, the full calendars and all things marked ‘urgent’, Kimberley is the place for you, it’s a genuine Canadian ski town with a laid back atmosphere offering a large variety of places (indoor and outdoor) to explore.  Stay on mountain for a ski getaway everyone dreams of – wake up on the mountain, enjoy the slopes right outside your door during the day and dine and/or dance your night away at one of the many on mountain bars or restaurants.

Did you know?  Kimberley is known as the sunniest ski resort in B.C?  It’s true, at Kimberley we get most sunny days than anyone else in the region!  Jan22 - put on FB by Roland GaschenAlong with that sunshine also comes some amazing views and vistas like this sundog spotted last year (not the first and we expect not that last we’ll have here)!

Another plus to Kimberley – it’s off the beaten path while not being off the beaten path at the same time!  It’s super easy to get to with the new Integra Air flight called “Spirit of the Kootenays” flying multiple times weekly during the ski season from YYC to YXC.  YXC (Cranbrook international airport) is just half an hour away from the resort. Have you ever wanted to fly & ski in the same day?  At Kimberley you can!

IMG_20150316_121547Have you been convinced to visit yet?  If not, this will do it – how about 80 roomy, uncrowded runs and over 1800 acres of skiable terrain to tour, family events all season contributing to Kimberley being voted A family favourite ski resort, on mountain skating rink and live après concerts every weekend!  Ya, that should do it!

Now that you’re going to visit Kimberley here is an exclusive tip from a local, just for you “our favourite run is called Geneva in the black forest, a long “black” leg burner with very interesting and variable terrain. It’s the first stop after a large overnight powder dump.  Also hit up the Tamarack chair for a bunch of terrain which few people ski on!

See you soon!

Annual Ullr Offering Paying Off – the snow has arrived!
Wednesday, 28 October 2015 by Cali Burk

Each year at Kimberley Alpine Resort we have an annual celebration, a ski burning celebration, during which we hope to appease the Norse Mythological ‘God of Winter’, Ullr.  It looks like our celebration last year was heard, as the snow has already arrived at the resort!

Ullr fun fact; he is believed to be the handsome stepson of Thor, the God of Thunder.

Keep ‘praying’ to Ullr for more snow- our opening date is scheduled for December 12th.  Stay tuned to our Events Calendar for more information and for the announcement of the 2016 Ullr Ski Burning Ceremony.

Our Trees are for Glades Movement
Wednesday, 14 October 2015 by Cali Burk

We like white on green here at Resorts of the Canadian Rockies; lots and lots of snow on our mountains and all over the trees on those mountains too.  Because if you’ve never come rocketing through the glades, ripping up and down the natural moguls with powder hitting you in your grinning face until you blast back onto the trail, you really haven’t lived.  And we kind of want to keep that around for a while, for future skiers and riders, for our kids, and for our kids’ kids too.

That’s why we decided to take a stand and be the first ski resort company to refuse printing a brochure this year, to do what we can to lessen our environmental footprint.  On top of that, we’ll plant a whole tree for every email sign-up to our online newsletter.  We hope this helps reiterate to consumers everywhere, that taking paper maybe isn’t the answer any more, especially if you can find that information online anyways.

So, help do your part and keep the Trees for Glades!  Sign your email up on our Trees for Glades website and read our full story (plus enter our contest for the chance to win a spring event ski trip for you and 3 friends)!

Success So Far:

  • 75,000 pieces of paper saved by this initiative alone
  • So far: 3000+ trees planted – thanks to you!
