Kimberley Alpine Resort
Kimberley Alpine Resort is a ski resort in southwestern Canada, located in Kimberley, British Columbia.
In the Purcell Mountains on the northeast face of North Star Hill, Kimberley's vertical drop is with a summit elevation of above sea level. The ski season commonly starts in mid-December and runs until early April.
The resort maintains 80 runs and five lifts: a high-speed quad chairlift, a triple chair, a double chair, a T-bar and a magic carpet, leading to an hourly lift capacity of 6,452.
The ski area opened in 1948 as North Star with a rope tow; a T-bar installed a decade later was over in length, vertically climbing in eleven minutes.Management
The ski resort is operated by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Inc., which also owns Fernie Alpine Resort, Nakiska, Mont Sainte-Anne, and Stoneham; the latter two are back east in Quebec.
