Owned and operated by Resorts of The Canadian Rockies
(RCR) Kimberley Ski Resort with its consistent snow
falls and varied terrain could easily become a major
international family ski resort. Unfortunately its
owners consistently fail to provide the quality of
promotion or the facilities needed for Kimberley to
shake off its "cheap vacation" status.
Only one
lift, the North Star quad gives you access to the top of
the mountain. The other two mountain lifts a 2 man chair
Tamarack and a 3 man chair Easter can only be described
as slow and ancient and both need replacing for
Kimberley to advance.
There is only
one hotel and one catered chalet in Kimberley Alpine
Resort. No on hill restaurants or bars other than the
two owned by RCR which are located at the ski hill base.
The views from the top of the old Rosa chairlift are
world class the lift has now been decommissioned
and as far as we know there are no plans to replace it.
The resort also needs at least one more lift to access
the mountain from base plus another to allow beginners
to use half of the Main run as the run really is too
long for beginners progressing from the Owl area T bar.
