There will also be a base village, which will feature hotels, condominiums, homes, restaurants, an RV Park, and a golf course. They plan on building around 12,000 beds, which will include hotel rooms, townhouses, apartments, and more. For employees, they’ll have 1,200 housing units. Day guests would be able to park in the 1,100 spaces.
Location-wise, while it’s not the most convenient ski resort from Vancouver, it’s not far away either. It would likely be easier to access this place compared to Big White, Silver Star, and Sun Peaks. The two-and-a-half-hour drive could be made more convenient by a planned project of widening Highway 1 up to Chilliwack. Because of this location, the expected visitation is 150,000 for the first year and 400,000 by year ten.
The other thing that makes me a little critical about the project is how the various terrain pods are spread out. While they plan to have lifts that connect the different terrain zones, it’s a wonky layout.
I can see it being a successful ski resort, as it’s less than two and a half hours drive away from Vanouncer. However, the aim to make it a destination ski resort like Whistler or Sun Peaks seems ambitious. Click here to read the full proposal.
