Kimberley

Book a trip to Kimberley and you might be left thinking you’ve headed for the alps rather than Canada, with many of the buildings that have been built within the resort having more than a hint of traditional alpine style about them.

Skiers of all levels will find something to keep them entertained, with plenty of gentle slopes that have been well groomed to cater for beginners, and more challenging intermediate runs then available in the Easter Bowl for those looking to take the step up to the next level.

Experts meanwhile will really enjoy the opportunity to sharpen their skills with a series of challenging bowls alongside steep runs that will keep even the best skiers on their toes.

With a season that runs from December through to April, Kimberley provides skiers with impressive levels of powder snow, whilst there are plenty of alternative activities available for those who want to do more than ski during their time away.

Add into the mix an impressive range of accommodation and the fact that the lifts aren’t clogged up by large queues and the appeal of Kimberley becomes ever more clear.

Off Piste Skiing in Kimberley

The on-piste skiing is enough for most people on a trip to Kimberley, but if you’re a real adrenaline junkie, then you will also enjoy the off-piste options that are to be found around the resort.

Excitement levels will go off the scale as you plough through the snow, with the real rewards awaiting those who take time to explore in the hunt for the best off-piste conditions.

Family Skiing in Kimberley

Kimberley is ideal for families because of the well-groomed slopes, and the fact that the main nursery areas are so easily accessible.

In fact, the resort features a range of ski-in, ski-out accommodation that offers easy access to those slopes and makes things much simpler for those with children in tow.

Apres-Ski in Kimberley

The après in Kimberly runs late into the evening, with plenty of opportunity to relax with a drink and unwind. You’ll also find various different restaurants offering a range of cuisine, and there is the possibility of listening to live music if you so desire.

Heated outdoor seating areas in some bars mean you can even take in the scenic surroundings at the same time.

Non-Skiing Activities in Kimberley

Away from the slopes, there is a range of winter activities available that include snowmobiling, dog sledding, ice skating, curling and snowshoeing.

You might also want to head off to explore some of the fine winter walks that are to be found in the area, or swap the pistes for some cross-country action.
