Replying to Whats happening about the new resort!
k so everyones been wondering whats going to be going down for the new revelstoke resort on mt mackenzie. My dad's company he works for, Vic Van Isle, is building all of the condos and buildings at the new resort so he has all the plans for the condos and mountain. They have already ordered a gondola and it will start to be installed in the springtime of 07 and be up and running by the new season. This gondola will start alot earlier then i said previously in the other thread. When i looked over the plans today, the first gondola will start almost in town. It will start about 10 minutes out of town and continue all the way up to whats called "the wheather station" if youve ever been cat skiing at cat powder then you have most likely stopped here in the morning. From the wheather station there will be an upper village with condos,resteraunts and all that stuff. There will also be three heli pads there where the new Selkirk Tangliers will be located. The owners of the new mountain bought Selkirk Tangliers and the main location and where all the helicopters will launch from is the upper village of the new resort. From the upper village there will be several chairlifts branching off from there up to all the bowls/chutes and places where cat skiing usually occurs. these chairlifts will not be up or operational for next season but should be up in 2 years if all goes according to plan.
This is all true information, i looked at the plans myself no more then 3 hours ago. This will be a huge mountain and will exceed whistlers largest vertical drop in north america. Be prepared for pow, pow and more pow once this hill opens!
