B.C.'s Interior has another major ski resort en route.
Today, Valemount Glacier Destinations received the final green light it needed from the provincial government to begin construction.
Situated just outside the town of Valemount near the BC-Alberta border in the Premier Range of the Cariboo Mountains, the resort will feature the largest verticle drop of any resort in North America upon completion.
The first phase of the resort plan is expected to be completed by December 2018 just in time for the winter ski season.
“The signing of the Master Development Agreement is the last step for the Valemount Glacier Resort to call the Robson Valley home,” said Shirley Bond, the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, in a statement.
“The glacier access at this world-class resort gives visitors an extended ski season and helps diversify the tourism experiences in northern B.C. The partnerships, investment and jobs created by the resort will benefit the region for years to come.”
