Watching ski resorts being proposed and fail for that tiny village is a sick side hobby of mine. So far the count is up to 5! 1-5 Mile Road on Mt McKirdy which was the site of an old skiing tow-rope in the 1950's 2-Canoe Mountain and the ill-fated gondola/resort project south of town known as their version of Patscherkofel, 3-Crystal Ridge SW of town which has limited snowmobile sledding and heli-skiing down some pretty deep logging cuts 4-Premier Range resort from Oberti which is the main project and then 5-the community ski hill the locals want to build connected but below Premier Range creating a super-resort with a ski-out run to town... Or at least closer to town since it would drop down to near the airport is...
I still plan on moving there one day too, at least part time, because it's still the last untapped ski market in the Americas basically... And the fact that its only and hour from Alberta and home helps... Although from East Edmonton it's like 5.5h but a hell of a road trip to any major resort of note from that distance!
