January 26, 2010, Golden, BC…. After the lighting of the Olympic
Torch in the town of Golden, British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell
attended a ceremony at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort where he also announced
the approval of the New Master Plan for the resort. “At the Provincial
level we have now approved Kicking Horse’s Master Plan,” stated
Premier Campbell as he addressed the crowd at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
during the Run of the Fire Torchlight Parade held as part of the Olympic
Torch celebrations in Golden. “It opens up enormous opportunities;
an opportunity to build tourism, to build this resort and to let it take
the next step forward,” continued Campbell.
The newly approved Master Plan which spans a 40-year period calls for
a world class, destination mountain resort with an expanded controlled
recreation area, 20,000 bed units, an 18-hole signature golf course, a
multi-use trail system with 11 proposed lifts and 4,188 acres of skiable
terrain. The plan is a major milestone for the resort and the final step
in the process under the Commercial Alpine Ski Policy will be the signing
of the master development agreement.
“This is an exciting time for Golden, Kicking Horse Country and
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort” says Steve Paccagnan, President and
CEO of Kicking Horse Mountain. “Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has
the natural assets to be one of the finest mountain resorts in North America.
With the news from the Premier, we are excited to enter our next decade
continuing to be a major economic contributor to our community and playing
a key role in supporting the province`s goal of doubling tourism by 2015.
