Fortress Mountain is a ski resort in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada.
Located on the face of The Fortress, the resort spans over 3.8 km² from a top elevation of 2,369 m to the base at 2,040 m, and is serviced by 3 chairlifts (one triple, two doubles) and 2 T-bars. The longest run, at 2 km, has a vertical rise of 329 m.
The resort is located on Kananaskis trail (115 km west of Calgary). It is owned and operated by the Banff Rail Co.
[edit] 2006-07 season
The opening of the resort for the 2006-07 ski season has been delayed by a number of factors, including an order by the provincial Director of Fair Trading requiring a halt to the sale of season passes and the closure of the resort's access road to the public.[1]
Management of the resort announced its limited opening in February 2007 via its website, including the operation of one or two ski lifts and access to a limited amount of the area's terrain but as of April 2, 2007 the ski hill remains closed.
