Reviews of Kimberley Alpine Resort (Rent Cars)

Where's Waldo

Only negative thing to say, filter the pool more often.

Brian

Excellent ski resort for a family! Great beginner runs, great powder and glade runs, awesome staff, and of course....Super Friendly Canadians!

Adam Barron

Nice location, great place to relax.

Kimberly Haldane

For the area, it delivers on all fronts. They know how to go the extra mile. Regardless of distance traveling you will always find the staff going out if there way for you year round.

Ryan Chan

Family resort with great skiing for all abilities, cheap tickets. Its a hidden gem.

Jordan Vanderwerf

I love this place! Such a great atmosphere and love coming here in both the winter for skiing and summer for hiking and biking

Angelina Jacobs

This skihill will only be good again.. if they build a JUMP LINE in the terrain park. Which as of now(and for the last decade) has 0 jumps. 0. 0, again, to be 100% sure you understand how many they lack.. Please build jumps again! They also used to have a SLICK little half pipe.. oh those were the days..

Louis E (Camoguy)

Did the half loop around the mountain. It was okay

Chris Metcalfe

Skiing is awesome when they get good snow.

Tashi Topgyal

Great family ski hill

Richard Lyall

Unbelievable place to visit. Very friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommended

Consistently hospitable and welcoming, family geared resort.

Great hill for snowboarders of all levels. Not too busy on the hills as there are so many options for runs.

Dustin Jolie

Great family friendly ski hill, with more challenging terrain as well.

Moss Hopper

Like the resort, family friendly ,night skiing.

Jozefien

Quiet relaxing resort, great for learning how to ski or snowboard, lots of accommodations nearby. Food is average for all resorts I’ve been to

Fantastic resort with excellent terrain selection. There is a run for everyone.

Derpety 3

Terrain park sucks, only rails. The rest of the hill Is fine tho.

Jenn Fitzgerald

Our 3 year old daughter was there for two and a half days. The women who work there are very caring and really understand little people. My daughter loved building her house and she loved that it was there the next day for her. She painted, played and had a lot of fun. One of the other kids did scratch her and the workers were super diligent considering it was scratch. Ski patrol even came and checked her out. I loved skiing with my hubby knowing she was happy at daycare. It seems pricey but the peace of mind and freedom was well worth the cost.

Jon Poulin

You want to avoid long lift lines? Go to Kimberley Alpine resort. Small and family friendly.

James Swansburg

Now this is the best Hill I've been to in some years, the beauty about this Hill is, if they get 5cm-10cm of snow it's fantastic skiing, If they don't it's still fantastic skiing. Reason is I didn't find it crowded and so you get more runs in and a lot more terrain is left for you to enjoy.. Kimberly has such a selection of terrain to enjoy that you will not be board and you'll always be challenged, great for families and people learning to ski along with expert runs. Totally recommend this Hill and out of all RCR resorts I've been to this staff is tops.

TheBrenno1981

Nice ski resort. Snow was good in December and not too crowded despite of the Christmas holidays.

James Lipsett

Spartan Race - Beast!!!!! Crushed it

Terry Anderson

Low on snow but really enjoyed some mid week snowboarding. Out in the black forest I was on runs all on my own. It was a nice "step back" after revelstoke and kicking horse.

Granden and Myra Bertrand

I've had a season pass since I moved to Kimberley in 2008 and am still finding new challenges. Good all around hill for all levels of skiers/riders

Marko Micovic

Kimberley is such a nice ski resort. I've been able to find super good powder here on a good day and it doesn't get skied out too too fast if you go in the right places. Been going here for a while, and it's sorta hit or miss. Definitely my favourite smaller ski hill but it still has a ton of advanced terrain.

Katherine “Ksimera” T

Great family ski resort. Feels like home. Everyone so relaxed and friendly. The hill is A1, especially for intermediate skiing. With fresh snow, front side is great for free wheelin'.

Mariana Cl

Amazing mountain. Fantastic fast quad

Michael Bennett

Great beginner skiing and some decent terrain on the back chair lift, as well as night skiing. Not my favourite mountain but you can still have fun. I did have one of the best powder days of my life here so it does have that to its name. …

Carissa Gordon

Great food, great staff

ReBecca Horne

It was a beautiful sunny day with great snow. Awesome place to relax after skiing and also close to the town center

Agnete W. I.

Our favourite place to ski with kids, family and friends. No overwhelming crowds, no waiting in line-ups, very reasonable prices. We love visiting here!

Will Hill

This resort only has 4 lifts, no on slope restaurants. They really need that extra skiing that the purple forest would bring. Lots of traversing to get to the best slopes.

Robert Ryan

My husband and I just spent 6 days skiing. We have been coming to Kimberly once or twice a year for the past 20 years. Never have the conditions been so amazing! Thanks to all those who have done such a wonderful job maintaining and grooming the slopes as well as the wonderful lifities, ski patrols, and hosts!

Jenna Gyurkovits

Participated in the Spartan Beast here. Really cool ski hill. Would like to come back in the winter for snowboarding.

Bradley Jones

I've skied here my whole life, I love this family friendly hill. Its a hidden gem with great snow, friendly staff and short lines. This was my 1st time taking my 6yr old daughter here. …

James Penner

I attended a wedding here. The location is beautiful, the facility was we'll run, and staff was great.

Dan Morrison

Great hill when it comes to family skiing. Friendly staff and EXTRAORDINARY food.

Christina Faminoff

Cannot speak for condo placement, but the general access to the mountain and gorgeous views is great!

Mat Lloyd

Great place for bringing the family up during the holidays ????

Leslie Brackenbury

It was rocky and tree ish and it SUCKED! it put GOUGES in MY board.

Konstantin Kuch

Love this mountain, not much for tough terrain but a great place to shred with the kids!

George Daly

Just okay because of the 10 to 12 year old hockey players running up and down the halls. Good for them. But not very romantic for our anniversary holiday!

Clayton Hofer

New years eve lots of things for family

JD Lythgoe-Hilliard

It's a great ski hill with lots of Glade Skiing. I like the small town feel of the resort and the people. The staff were really nice, and a financial company was handing out free face masks when we were there. Great views of the Columbia Valley!!!

Samuel Hildebrandt

Fun hill with good variety. We were able to ski in/out which was awesome!

Tyson W

Best snow in the rockies

Kurt p

Great place to ski

Mitchell Aitken

They hill is beautiful with all the log style housing and lodging surrounding. The different slopes are easily mapped out and accessible. Great, friendly staff!

Joe Bryant

Love this mountain. Great family skiing on the front side and fab small mountain expert skiing on the back side. I really appreciate all they are doing in 2021 to keep us safe and keep the ski hill open.

Eric

We come here as often as we can! Beautiful ski hill never “too” busy and the lessons are top notch. Warmer temperatures than Alberta and Kimberley is the best little mountain town ever! And by the way kids in grade two get a free RCR ski pass for the season!

John Anderson

Great hill for the whole family.

Claus

Had a great day on the slopes.. great trails needed a little more snow but great day

David Price

A beautiful place

Erik Jamik

Go here. It's amazing

Yulia Herasimovich

This place is amazing!! The vue is beautiful and not to hard

Cole Tweed

Kimberly Alpine Resort is one of the 4 RCR resorts in western Canada. It's a good mountain, they have a rare Leitner high speed quad, and two other chairlifts on other parts of the hill. I wouldn't recommend going on weekends, as it can get …

Kevin Parks

The Grandkids are in heaven. The ski school people are phenomenal. All the staff here have been outstanding. Great getaway.

David Dornian

Great family hill. Fantastic staff at the administration desk that helped me with my damaged coat.

Elisabeth Gelb

Great family hill. Runs for beginners and experts

Rome Parilla

Great ski hill for beginners to advanced. Front of mountain is very beginner friendly. Lots of intermediate to advanced off the backside of the mountain. I would recommend this hill to anyone just starting out skiing or snowboarding.

suzanne swienink

Fun

Emerson Miller

Perfect for families.

Laurier Chabot

Perfect !

Shawn Walsh

Quick visit, too many man buns for my liking but dont hold that against them.

Jules

Great place, long runs with beautiful views. Very friendly staff and good aprés ski events on weekends! There's a couple restaurants/bars at the bottom but don't expect much of a village if you're used to that.

Dan Relkow

Lots of fun not too busy

Paul Jacobs

Friendliest people and great snow.

Heath Stang

Great family hill

Julia Pickering

The best tree skiing and best family hill and best on hill accommodation ski hill in Western Canada.

Kevin Mullie

Gorgeous place. Beautiful town.

Jason Hill

Kimberley is a very nice skiing mountain with lots of variation in terrain and difficulty. It's smaller, so easy to navigate and well connected - no need to worry about getting lost. Their ski instructors and staff are very friendly.

Jared Koehl

Looks like real family place.

Ian Pattison

NOT IMPRESSED:/ Arrived late morning, only the self serve kiosk was open, 10:45 am and the only option available was 1/2 day rate.. waited for friends to show, finally get to lift and ticket is rejected, back to guest services, charged another $18.90 for full rate at 11:15am waiting again because I told my friends not to wait...this is how corporate hill's treat guests, no fault of the employees but it could have been handled better.

Jack Spinks

Fun

Mike duToit

Great location, beautiful mountains, well maintained resort and friendly stuff! What else do you need?! Definitely coming back!

Dwayne Smith

Great day of Skiing. Home Town Hill with Home Town Hospitality

Jerry Wong

Macel Dar

Great snow

Matthew Glanfield

Kimberley is my home town and where I garnered my love for skiing and winter! Great place to be!

Nat Diloklap Munday

Easily the worst hill in Western Canada for quantity of grooming. Quality is always good but in comparison to other resorts Kimberley always come in last. e.g. today Fernie 43 runs groomd, Kicking Horse 31 runs groomed and Nakiska 23 runs groomed. Kimberley 12 runs and one of these is a 300 meter single lane track they call a run. Pathetic!!!

A A

Very nice

Tom Pierce

A hidden gem with great conditions!

ERF

Great family hill with lots of different types of terrain.

Jarrett Mccrae

Great comfort. Bad tv’s. None of the channels on any three of our TVs worked(then it would be a 5). But the location was fantastic. The views were amazing. Staff friendly.

Parley Knudson

Great place to ski/snowboard. Very long and wide runs. Went during the Xmas season and it was reasonable for how busy it was.

Rob Olson

Love Kimberley Ski Resort. Great place for beginner to advanced skiers and awesome for in tree skiing...

Val Rommus Daemones

So so much room per skier

Garrett W

We stayed in Trickle creek lodge.the rooms are super great for the money, a few steps and you are on the slope, with hot tub and outdoor pool.front desk really helpful, I recommended.

Glenda Bott

Probably the best resort in Canada for all abilities.

Brett Price

Best little gem west of Calgary.

Ludo

Really appreciate the help from the ski patrol staff at Kimberly. I broke my arm on Saturday and they were all super helpful! They handled the situation really well. The staff are amazing!

Connor McKay

Short lift lines. Beautiful views. Nice blue and green runs. Had a great day of skiing!

Colby Katzberg

Great snow conditions and really enjoying on Valentines day.

Jon Pedersen

Great facility and awesome mountain

Lloyd Steeves

Awesome place to visit

Agnes Thompson

I enjoyed the skiing and service

Jason Cummings

Small Hill but it's got lots of fun terrain

Benjamin Widish

Lovely family resort with skiing to sit everyone. Great views as well

Jesse Beattie

Every time I have been to Kimberly there has always been great snow conditions!! They have lots of area to explore and Purple Forest is definitely a favorite area you should plan to explore!

David Brown

Snow is wonderful. Staff is fantastic. I’m giving RCR a 3 after they have lost their quad chair to a fire and can’t get organized. They are running a cat service poorly over everbrite. ( come on guys) its a joke …

Hynek Drlík

Lots of variety.

Chris Broughton

Overall pretty good location.

Shelley Nicholls

Second best place on earth to Disneyworld

Chantelle Broughton

Love this place.!!

Ski school staff are a delight to deal with. Friendly and professional.

Great resort for the family. Lacks a little with night life.

Loretta Kampeas

Great family ski hill. So many wonderful memories

Gail Gifford

Great ski resort! Recommended. Customer service really pulled through!! 5/5 Helped me with my Costco pass being left at home. Thank you Ingrid Musser and Shelby! Friendly staff. Good variety of runs, from beginners to advance.

Tony Eimer

Looking for an address was a bit difficult lol even goggle had trouble

Ecospectacle Ecospectacles

Flat

Hammad Mazhar

Good snow

Daniel Matheson

just a lovely little spot. check them out

Christina Horton

A great family hill!

Alyssa Rae

Careful going into glades and shrubbery... got stuck in powder for 20 minutes.

Mark Feldberg

I love the skiing here. Great terrain and rarely busy. Just time it so it had great snow.

Brad Zakreski

Had a good day on the nordic ski area and then met the kids who were doing downhill for a good lunch at the Stemwinder

Meghan

Awesome family ski resort with excellent runs for all levels, and fun stuff for little skiers to build their confidence and skills on. Stay on the resort if you can, so much easier to ski-in, ski-out for lunch and breaks, and after the kids …

Jordain Brulotte

Decent snow quality for Canada (better then BC's coast, but inferior to North Central such as Powder King). The quad chair is efficient and good for families, while the double and triple suit more advanced skiers. The restaurants are …

Kim Skir

Reasonable crowds and good variety of terrain.

Brent Hornberger

Prices are outrageous for how much snow they get and a few staff memebers are rude and have no clue how to handle any situation. Debating on ever getting a pass here again.

Jeff Curren

My favorite family resort, also my hometown so I may be a little bias???? we have had a seasons pass for 6 seasons now, totally worth it. Great ski resort with enough terrain to satisfy almost any skiboarder. The staff is almost always in a good mood, the grooming is great untill spring, and the stemwinder is a great place to catch local talent on Friday and Saturday. Thursday night rec rut runners is always a good time, and there is more glade skiboarding then you could resonably skiboard in a day. The newly renovated Buckhorn and Main eatery is well priced and has decent food if the stemwinder is too busy. Hit up Kimbo it's totally worth it! Get your seasons pass in June and save too!

Erica Shumansky

Small ski area, with soso infrastructure, not a lot of grooming done during the time we stayed there

Brenda D

A great ski resort to bring the family to! Kimberley is a diverse mountain with many runs ranging from beginner greens, up to double black diamond tree runs. Within close proximity to the Cranbrook Airport, it is easily accessible from anywhere.

MARIANNE DUTHIE

I thought I was a good skier... 30 years skiing in southern Ontario does not prepare you for real skiing. Glad I came, hope to come back.

Mike Richardson

The ski hill is amazing, the price of a day pass is outrageous.

Michelle Swanson

My hometown hill, best of everything, especially for families!

Jean MIchel Pelland

Awesome place. Good views. Good food. Little pricey at times due to peak season

Serkan Tokgoz

It's been a very difficult start to the ski season and I feel for the staff, businesses and the people in the Kimberley community. I do believe that RCR could be of more assistance. The main chair is out for the year. Time to make the hill accessible for the masses. Have better infrastructure at the top of the Easter Chair. The current setup is not working to it's full potential.

Ivan Barcic

DO NOT come to this resort on a long weekend or if there is a race on. The resort customarily closes off large swaths of the mountain for long periods before a race. There is only one access to the base across an approximately 40 foot wide bridge. The bridge ices up early in the day and as it is the only route to the bottom, the traffic across it is very heavy especially on weekends. Other than a couple of gates to slow traffic just above the bridge there is absolutely no control over speeding skiers and boarders. This makes a very dangerous situation for beginning skiers and small children making their way down. It is also a poor situation for more advanced skiers. The resort also likes to hold events at the base and routinely closes off large sections of the access making it even more hazardous. As the resort owners decided to build condos instead of another access to the base as originally planned, it is on them to make the one access safer by policing reckless skiers/boarders. Also, worthy of comment is the grooming or lack of it. The resort claims they have had trouble with their equipment. As in any other business with equipment that has broken down, they need to fix it or replace it in a timely manner. Of the 75 runs advertised as open, they routinely only groom under 20 runs. When conditions are marginal which occurs frequently in the later season, it pushes all levels of skiers onto fewer runs making the mountain more crowded and dangerous. In their daily reports of groomed runs they also routinely include connector trails such as Vimy Ridge. We have spent our winters skiing here for many years and have watched it go from a very nice family resort to an area that I would not recommend to anyone.

Darcy DeCaluwe

Nice chill little hill. Great for families

Mitch Zuvela

Very nice resort

Breanne Olsen

Great weekend on the hill with great weather!

John Curran

Beauty of a day!

shaun street

Quiet and peaceful

Brody Spoelder

Awesome restaurant and great service. Food was exceptional.

Dawn Radkie

Good family friendly runs

Lisa Selinger

Great spring conditions! Excellent terrain for our young family.

Ben Harris

Drove up in summer. Was hoping to take the chair lift and explore the area but sadly does not run in summer. Might be something to consider as alot of hills open for summer. Beautiful area.

Lane Larochelle

Awesome snow conditions, slopes that don't get boring even after an entire season, challenging funpark for all levels. This resort is great for beginners as well as advanced skiers/ snowboarders

John Rattie

The hill has a wide variety of beginner and more advanced runs. Up the main chairlift is direct access to most of the beginner runs. With routes to other chairlifts to take you to the ore advanced runs. The beginner runs are great because they are wide and usually groomed. The advanced runs are a little trickier to get to, but still feel accessible and easy to return to the lodge after.

Ben kho

Great skiing

Leslie Smitna

Super fun for the family

Al Mc Donald

Love this mountain. Night skiing is a lot of fun too.

Kristy Alberton

A great hill for beginners to intermediate skiing and snowboarding. Flat open tree runs, some challenging terrain on the backside.

Kara Hallett

It's my hometown. I grew up on this hill. I have a need for speed and this ski hill satisfies this desire ????

John K

Amazing place! If you are looking for skiing / snowboarding, this is the place, beautiful

Todd Baerg

It was a wonderful experience. The beauty of Kimberling with the view from our suite was amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We were even upgraded to the Honeymoon suite! Which was quite ironic as we are on our Honeymoon???? We would not only recommend this as a place to stay, we will be staying here again the next time we pass this way????

YT12ish

Fantastic resort, the lines are always short and when the snow is good you'll never want to leave.

Samantha Demish

Went there to see what it looks like before it's covered in snow. Saw some deer and even got to see a rainbow!

Kelsey Morrissey

The snow is awesome! The lifts are fast and easy, and the safety measures are no problem, allowing everyone to enjoy this great resort. Great times!

Todd White

There's nobody in the rental office and it's very poor service and slow going

William Francis

Decent hill with runs for everyone. Rental prices are a tad on the high side compared to other hills in B.C with similar or better facilities.

Danny

Great family hill. Busy but not packed, worth the drive. Staff is very friendly.

Sean Wallace

Great little hill when it's open. Consistent snow. Can get into the back easily. Hard runs and easy. Good family hill.

clayton amichand

Such a great hill. Super friendly staff and rates were not expensive.

D F (DrDougieEvil)

Great hill, even better when it gets dumps of snow. The hill has a good variety of different runs with varying skill levels. The hill is well maintained with the green runs groomed while most blues and blacks aren't.

Trevor Paul

Food was not good and uncooked.

Michael Jones

We've celebrated NYE there, and it was a very nice experience! First, there were fun and spectacular outdoor activities, then The Stemwinder set a party in the pub with very good live music.

Sebastian Hladik

It's a great place to go, minimum amount of people, almost no lift lines, runs completely to yourself. The runs aren't long and the hill is technically quite small so not a ton of diversity in runs. However, the hill can accommodate a …

ben larsson

Love it

Ed Calen

As long as you do not go on a long weekend, there are no lift line ups and the snow is consistently good. The resort is relatively small with only three chairs and a beginners area. The "Main" run is one of the best intermediate runs anywhere, it is even lit up at night on weekends. Most tourists stay on the "Main" run, so it is not uncommon to find powder, with a bit of hunting, for several days after fresh snowfalls.

Art Spring

Great lodging and hills

Jason Buhler

Wonderful ski hill

Karolina Skwara

By far my favourite resort! Tonnes of mountain to hit up and I've never had horrible weather here. There's a good mix for all skill levels. The only thing I don't like here is the steep hill and bottle neck at the end of the main run.
