As Fernie Alpine Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort are about 1 1/2 hour apart from each other it makes it very easy to ski both on the same trip. We stayed in slopeside ski in/ski out lodging (Trickle Creek Lodge) at the base of Kimberley Alpine Resort and my family enjoyed the long fall-line groomed runs! Kimberley was a hit for the kids- even tried finding the secret mine shaft on the slopes...Then it was off to Fernie for the powder seekers! We left Kimberley a little after 8am and we were on the lifts at Fernie before 10am. The terrain at Fernie is unbelievable and the new gladed runs in Currie Bowl were lots of fun! These resorts make a great combination and take care of all of the needs of all ability levels
