★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fortress mountain was opened in 1967 as Snowridge. The original lease granted to the ski resort pre-dates the provincial park, and Kananaskis Country by eleven years. The area enjoyed popularity throughout the years, but was closed 2004 by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. The area has been deteriorating since, and the lodge has been in a severe state of disrepair. However, in 2012 the mountain sort-of reopened with a cat skiing operation. The area has a full master plan, and is planning many more new lifts. The three chairlifts on Fortress remain standing, while the t-bars have been removed. Phase 1 of the master plan calls for reviving the Canadian Chair and Backside lift, while putting a high speed quad on farside, and a new quad replacing the t-bar. There would be a yurt style lodge at the base of the Canadian. Phase 2 sees High Speed Quads replacing both Canadian and Backside, as well as a potential new lift south of the Canadian, and west of the Backside. Phase 3 includes the opening of the new lodge, and demolition of the old one. I wish you guys all the best in your efforts to re-open the place.
