Located within the spectacular Canadian Rockies and Purcell Mountain ranges of British Columbia, Kimberley Alpine Resort is renowned for long, groomed fall-line runs, un-crowded slopes, consistent snow conditions and an abundance of sunshine.  Recent terrain expansion now makes Kimberley larger than Alta, Beaver Creek and many other major North American Resorts; with over 2,465 feet of vertical and 1800+ acres of terrain; the trip will include a day at Fernie. With an average annual snowfall of over 29 feet, Fernie Alpine Resort is a powder lover’s dream!  The 2500 acres of terrain, 2800 feet of vertical, 5 spectacular open bowls, ridges & glades provide endless adventure on this mountain.  The city of Kimberley is known as the "Bavarian City of the Rockies" -the area combines old European flair with outstanding hospitality, set against a beautiful backdrop of mountain scenery.  The downtown area is called the ‘Platzl’ and looks like a small alpine village, closed off to traffic. We will be staying at the Marriott Trickle Creek deluxe ski in/out condominiums.  Kimberley is owned by the same company as Lake Louise, and we all know what a fabulous resort that is!  The Kimberley adventure is too good to pass up!
