Mountain Spirit Resort & Spa

As construction of the Kimberley Conference Centre and Athlete Training Centre gets close to completion, the website for the Conference Centre has been launched. “Accessible” and “Incomparable” are the taglines - definitely appropriate for such a beautiful location for organisations to meet, or couples to tie the knot. Check out the site here. Meet green at the Kimberley Conference Centre and stay green at Mountain Spirit Resort.

The next morning was bound to be great skiing. Kimberley Alpine Resort doesn’t get skied out in a day. And there was a possibility it had snowed more too!

And it had.

So we had more freshies in the sun. Magma was groomed, Flapper wasn’t but was excellent. Lots of soft fresh snow for all to enjoy.

It was also the first annual Beer Festival. It turned out to be a great fun family day with fun activities for kids, live music inside and outside in the plaza. International beer was available (I noticed the Belgian blonde beer Leffe in the plaza!).

Here’s to more freshies in the sun before the end of the season!

It was like waking up on Christmas morning as a kid. Instead of rushing to the Christmas tree to see if Santa had been, my hubby kept peeking under the blinds to see if it was still “powing” outside. And it was!

By 8:30am I was in the line up for Kimberley Alpine Resort’s high speed quad.

I knew where I was headed… to the Easter chair by the fastest possible route (Rung).

I was third in the line up.

Being a snow boarder, it usually takes longer to get my bindings sorted when I get off the quad.

I’d have to be super fast not to lose my prime position in the lift line for the Easter.

Thankfully most of the skiers were excited for skiing the main in powder and weren’t planning on the runs with a steeper pitch on the “back side”.

A couple of minutes later I was on the Easter Chair, panting and excited after having floated my way down Rung and Caper.

Happy faces after fresh tracks all morning!
