Kimberley RCMP along with Kimberley Alpine Resort (KAR) and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR) are seeking public assistance in identifying the individual(s) responsible for damaging the Northstar Quad Chair.

KAR & RCR are offering a $100,000 reward to any individual(s) offering information that leads to the location, arrest and conviction of suspects involved in the destruction of the lift control building on December 18, 2021.

The information must be provided directly to the RCMP, not to KAR/RCR. The RCMP number in Kimberley is 250-427-4811.

At approximately 3 a.m. on Saturday, December 18, a fire broke out that destroyed the lift control building adjacent to the upper terminal of the North Star Express lift, the main ski lift on the front side of the Kimberley Alpine Resort.

The RCMP and the Kimberley Fire Department responded immediately to the fire and have been actively investigating it since then.

On January 10, the RCMP released a statement saying that they believe the fire was arson and was deliberately set.

KAR/RCR appreciates the RCMP’s efforts in this investigation and are assisting and supporting them in any way we can, including offering this $100,000 reward.

KAR/RCR has been communicating with the RCMP about offering the reward since the day the fire was determined to be arson.

Once again, if you have information on this investigation please contact the RCMP at: 250-427-4811.

If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at www.solvecrime.ca.
