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.
The ski resort is operated by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies
