Skiing at Kimberly

After skiing at Skoki, I was due in Fernie for a week-long Avalanche Level 1 course. Killaine & I drove down from Lake Louise to Cranbrook, and stayed at the St. Eugene's Mission Hotel. It's a converted residential school (i.e. it doesn't have a happy history), but the local band owns it and has converted it into a very nice hotel. It was a nice place to stay.



The next afternoon, we went skiing at Kimberly. Unfortunately, we missed the big dump of snow they had overnight, but there were still a few bits and pieces of powder to hunt down.



... and enough for Killaine to bury herself in ...

A few photos don't do Kimberly justice - it's a nice sized hill with lots of exploration potential - and a pretty laid back atmosphere.
