Kimberley Alpine Resort is unable to open on Dec. 11 and will be reviewing the situation on a day-to-day basis, despite recent snowfall and colder temperatures allowing for snowmaking. Bulletin file.

While the recent dip in temperatures has allowed them to ramp up snowmaking operations, Kimberley Alpine Resort announced Tuesday, Dec. 7 that they have to reassess their opening date and rather than opening on Dec. 11, they will be reviewing the situation on a day-to-day basis.

KAR pass holders are able to ski for free at other RCR resorts until the resort opens, but unfortunately the nearest location Fernie Alpine Resort, has been dealing with even worse early-winter conditions and have also had to push back their opening date.

It’s not always easy to predict what Mother Nature is going to do; for instance last year KAR was able to open a day early due to more ideal conditions.
