Ski Canada has taken notice what an amazing destination Kimberley BC is, by dolling out numerous awards to our soon-to-be-not-so-secret ski resort.
GOLD MEDAL “Best Weather – if you like sun on your powder”
Best new training centre – Newly completed Kimberley Conference& Athletic Training Centre is a $6-million, 24,000-sq-ft conference centre—and the only Canadian digs with a fully accessible training facility for both able-bodied and Paralympic athletes.
Best pagan holiday
The secret ski burning offering to Ullr the snow god is a long-running tradition in Kimberley. Only those who have shown their dedication to snow and the sport of skiing are privy to the whereabouts of this celebration. Follow the smoke.
Best place to be a virgin
Kimberley’s Newbie Pack lets you introduce a new skier to the sport, and provides a lift ticket for you and a Learn to Ski package for your newbie.
Best place to meet a lumberjack
Enhancements to what it considers North America’s largest gladed ski terrain continue at Kimberley. The largest glading project in Canada has created yet further new glades in the Black Forest between Windfall and Tramway, as well as between Twist and Geneva.
