Owner Description

Why the Owner Chose Kimberley

We spent many years travelling between Calgary and the Kootenays, skiing at Kimberley, Fernie, Panorama, Whitefish (in Montana, USA) and the many other ski hills in the area. We finally decided to purchase a condo in Kimberley because it was the most central to all these locations. We've since spent a number of great ski holidays in our condo. And much to our delight, we found Kimberley to be a wonderful place to visit in the summer and fall as well! With the biking, hiking, golf courses and mild temperatures into late fall, we've been able to enjoy our condo year round!

The Unique Benefits of this Condominium

We love going out to Kimberley for a relaxing yet adventurous holiday. Instead of getting up early every day and making a long drive to a ski hill, we have the luxury of sleeping in and enjoying a nice breakfast. On a really good day, there is lots of fresh snow from the previous night, and we watch a gentle snowfall while having our morning coffee in the secluded outdoor hot tub on the back patio. Then we stroll over to the ski hill and hit the slopes for a great day of down-hill skiing or snowboarding. Because it’s so close to the ski hill, we often come back to the condo for lunch, pop a lasagna in the stove for supper, and then head back to the hill for the afternoon. By the end of the day, everyone is starving so it’s great to have supper ready when we arrive back at the condo. On a warm night we’ll then go for a walk around the neighborhood. If there’s a full moon we often make the 5 minute drive up to the cross-country ski trails. The main loop is lit at night, but with a full moon we go off on other trails and it’s so quiet and peaceful in the moonlight, with the snow blanketing the ground and no one else around. Much to our surprise, Kimberley turned out to be a wonderful place to stay in the summer and fall, too! There are so many hidden treasures in the area – the Nature Park, St Mary’s Falls, the Cominco Gardens, the Summer Theatre. There are many nearby towns to visit, each with their own attractions, museums, gardens, antique stores, golf courses, etc. On my last trip there we explored around Wasa Lake, the warmest swimming lake in the Kootenays, and spent a lovely day exploring the trails there. I can't wait to go back to explore a new area next time!
