Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Ski In- Ski Out Condo at Kimberley Alpine Resort near Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. We have a large covered deck with a 4 person jacuzzi from which you can enjoy a big view of the ski hill and the pond. There is a barbeque that can be used all year round. It is a two bedroom and two bathroom condo featuring modern mountain decor. There is an open living room, dining area and kitchen with a gas fireplace and television. There is a ski gear storage area within our condo. The Kimberley Nordic Centre is within walking distance (or a 2 minute drive) for those that enjoy groomed single and double track cross country or skate skiing. There are also groomed "fat bike" trails on the nearby golf course (winter biking). We love to walk from our location on the the ski hill into the town of Kimberley (about 30 minutes away ; or a 5 minute drive). The Kimberley Platzl is the heart of the town with restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and a climbing wall. The best times of year to visit Kimberley would be in the winter from late December to Easter for downhill and cross country skiing; the summer (mid June to mid September) for hiking, golfing, fishing, and biking; or in October to see the infamous Tamarack/Larch trees turn from dark green to lime green to yellow.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our condo is just above the base of Kimberley Alpine Resort and Village. It is very quiet and peaceful on the average week and weekend. The features that we enjoy the most about our ski hill is that the snow and skiing are very consistent with a good variety of ski terrain. And we rarely have any ski lineups! There is a fun pub at the base of the hill called the Stemwinder that offers pub style food and live music.The Stemwinder is great for lunch or apres- skiing. The ski hill is busiest from Boxing Day to New years and on the Alberta Family long weekend (mid February).
