What Skiers Say About Kimberley

Kimberley attracts a mix of intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders, with families and beginners frequently mentioned. Reviewers consistently note uncrowded slopes, minimal or no lift queues, and good snow quality despite the resort's smaller size. The family-friendly atmosphere, ski-in/ski-out accommodation options, and proximity to the Bavarian-themed town are recurring themes. Many users highlight the resort as excellent value compared to larger nearby hills, though several mention that day pass pricing feels high relative to the three slow lifts. The terrain park receives limited attention and is described as suitable only for beginners and intermediates.

Lived in Kimberley and on a powder day, it is unmatched. Every run you can find fresh powder riding through the trees and on a bluebird day you won't find a better day snowboarding.

Great family resort. Cheaper than other hills in the area for a great family experience. Cheaper to stay at than Fernie and close enough to make it a day trip and save some money.
Great trails for snowshoe/fatbike/cross country skiing too.

Good experience, relatively calm hill with more family oriented terrain. Stayed just outside of Kimberley in Cranbrook and had some difficulties getting up the hill with icy roads but overall a good time skiing.

Kimberley resort is situated in small village recreated as a European type village
Great vibe and apres, plus accommodations very close. The hill is ok, decent terrain ,fair snow. Not spectacular but all around good. Family and some technical terrain. Not a destination resort. More for locals

Kimberley is my home hill and Ive been skiing it for about 10 years now, its great for almost everyone except those who enjoy a big terrain park and off piste. The terrain park is great for intermediate/beginner skiers but with the lack of jumps you can only progress so far. The groomers are really nice and theres a variety of steepness levels. Kimberley usually gets a good amount of snow and powder days throughout the year which is very enjoyable. Also throughout the year they do events which are very fun for all ages. The staff are very nice and welcoming and its just an overall great experience. The hill is pretty big but not as big as some hills nearby, so if youre looking for more off piste terrain and want to send cliffs etc Im not sure I could recommend Kimberley for that but for everything else its a great hill and an amazing place to bring your kids skiing because of the magic carpet and t bar that can help them improve fast. The hotels on the hill are very nice and there are great restaurants right at the base of the hill. Overall Ive had a great experience skiing at Kimberley/living in Kimberley and the variety of runs helped me improve my skiing ability at a good steady rate. It would be a super great spot for a family vacation/ski trip!!

Kimberley is an amazing resort along the powder highway! This little piece of even boasts a family atmosphere like no other. Kimberley has adventuresome tree trails for the kids, to son spicy black diamond runs on the backside in the aptly name Black Forest. Really no chance of getting stuck here as all trails lead to a lift so long as you make it before it stops spinning. All day fun from open to close!
