On the Snow
Making turns along the Powder Highway? A stop in Kimberley means carving down the longest-lit night-skiing run in North America, enjoying 80 downhill runs at the Kimberley Alpine Resort, and gliding across groomed cross-country tracks at the Kimberley Nordic Club. For non-skiing snow-seekers, winter adventures can be enjoyed on our groomed fat biking and snowshoe trails, or with sled-powered backcountry adventures. Whether you go by guide or strike out on your own, our frostier side makes for one heck of a warm welcome.
On the Water
Take the plunge and keep cool all summer long. From fly-tying fisherfolk, to rapid-chasing rafters and chill-seeking families, we’ve got plenty of nearby rivers, lakes, and hot springs to satisfy all of your wet wishes. Cool off after a long day on the trails, or plan full days of adventure on our waterways with rafting, fishing, paddling, or swimming. Test our waters, and discover why any sunny adventure here should include a heaping dollop or two of Kimberley splish-splash.
80 downhill ski runs, 5 trail networks, 2 mountain ranges, and the longest lit night-skiing run in North America.
On the Trails
Hit the trails, Kimberley-style!
