Night Skiing
SKI UNDER THE STARS!
Cruise down 2,100 vertical feet of terrain under the lights! Night skiing and riding is a unique and magical experience you can’t just have anywhere.
At Kimberley Alpine Resort, you’re already far away from the hustle and bustle of the city as well as the city lights. Kimberley is a small town giving you a great view of the sky. Running nearly all season, it’s your best bet to get the absolute most skiing in possible while admiring the scenery from the top of the mountain.
Night skiing is included on every quad lift ticket purchased. Night skiing season passes, cleverly called The Night Rider, are also available from guest services. Also hosted throughout the season is the Thursday Night Rec Rut Runners Adult Race Series. Combine night skiing with the on-mountain bar and lodging – this is one ski resort that will leave you no desire to return to the city life (and the lack of visible stars).
The North Star Quad Chair will spin from 5:30-8:30pm servicing the Main Run.
Please Note: Night Ski tickets cannot be bought online, please visit Ticket Window to retrieve a Night Skiing Ticket.
