Pow ­ WOW ­
Kimberley Alpine Resort gets some serious powder. With almost 7 metres of white fluff last season, Kimberley Alpine Resort became a serious contender in the powder destination category. Runs on the backside's Easter Bowl and in Kimberley's new gladed areas were especially delicious all season long.

Other Resort Upgrades in the Past Two Years:

Revised Beginner Area – With programs expanding and more people taking lessons, we needed more space, so we created it! The Owl Learning area had a new 180 foot long magic carpet with a corralled, low-angle learning slope, and existing terrain was re-contoured to offer beginners a wider, lower angle slope to master the initial skills before heading up the North Star Express Quad.

Summer Glading –Look for 7metre spacing throughout the entire front side of the mountain.

NEW Trails – For those who want to explore a little before you reach the base area, or for those staying on the mountain, the North Star Trail will take you from below the skier bridge amongst a tree lined, low angle trail to your destination in the Resort plaza. Moe’s Trail – A new intermediate trail to the skiers’ right of Boundary Run. Nate’s Way – A new access trail from the Top of the Tamarack Chair to the Stemwinder Run. New designated FIS Homologated
run as part of the Kimberley Paralympic program.
