Kimberley Alpine Resort at a Glance

Voted by Backside Guides as BC's Best Group Destination! The frontside is famous for its long and meticulously groomed corduroy. Our favourite, the backside, is full of challenging steeps providing a completely different skiing experience on the advanced terrain.

Located in the Purcell Range of the Canadian Rockies, Kimberley offers stunning scenery and a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere that lets you make the most of your winter getaway. On North Star Mountain, your skiing experience includes a newly enhanced beginner's area, enjoyable long intermediate trails, and exciting glades and steep terrain for the advanced skier and rider.

Our Guides Recommend

Apres & Night Skiing

Hill of the apres. Drinks at the Stemwinder and a chairlift ride home - way better than a cab! You can even take it for a few rounds of night skiing on fresh cord. Oh yeah the on-hill accomodations rock. All of them. - LORI S (Backside Guide)

Craving Kimberley

I always love a trip to Kimberley. The day doesn't have to end at 4:30pm. By taking away the sun and adding floodlights, you're sure to be in sheer glee craving up the hill until 9pm or your body feels the call of the hot tubs of the fantastic on-hill accommodations. - RUSS D (Backside Guide)

Apres n Hail Caesar!

The Stemwinder at Kimbo is likely my favorite apres ski spot due to the fact that night skiing there is often a blast. Plus they make a pretty deadly caesar. - CHRIS C (Backside Guide)

Kimberley Ridge = Wow!

The amazing on-hill accomodations, especially the private hot tubs make Kimberly Ridge the place to be this winter! Not to mention the skiing is not to shabby as well. - Amanda T (Backside Guide)
