\"KAR<\/a>If you\u2019re 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 \u2018urgent\u2019, Kimberley is the place for you, it\u2019s a genuine Canadian ski town with a laid back atmosphere offering a large variety of places (indoor and outdoor) to explore.\u00a0 Stay on mountain for a ski getaway everyone dreams of \u2013 wake up on the mountain, enjoy the slopes right outside your door during the day and dine and\/or dance\u00a0your night away at one of the many on mountain bars or restaurants.<\/p>\n

Did you know?\u00a0 Kimberley is known as the sunniest ski resort in B.C?\u00a0 It\u2019s true, at Kimberley we get most sunny days than anyone else in the region!\u00a0 \"Jan22<\/a>Along 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\u2019ll have here)!<\/p>\n

Another plus to Kimberley \u2013 it\u2019s off the beaten path while not being off the beaten path at the same time!\u00a0 It\u2019s super easy to get to with the new Integra Air flight called \u201cSpirit of the Kootenays\u201d flying multiple times weekly during the ski season from YYC to YXC.\u00a0 YXC (Cranbrook international airport) is just half an hour away from the resort. Have you ever wanted to fly & ski in the same day?\u00a0 At Kimberley you can!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150316_121547\"<\/a>Have you been convinced to visit yet?\u00a0 If not, this will do it \u2013 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 apr\u00e8s concerts every weekend!\u00a0 Ya, that should do it!<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019re going to visit Kimberley here is an exclusive tip from a local, just for you \u201cour favourite run is called Geneva in the black forest, a long “black” leg burner with very interesting and variable terrain. It\u2019s the first stop after a large overnight powder dump. \u00a0Also hit up the Tamarack chair for a bunch of terrain which few people ski on!<\/p>\n

See you soon!<\/p>\n
