CBC is reporting that a new British Columbia resort is closer to reality now that the province has approved the Valemont Glacier Destination Resort
The plans include the biggest vertical in North America and year round activities, with access to glaciers over 3000 meters in elevation.
This resort which will be located in the Caribou Mountains, just west of the village of Valemount, has been met with widespread support.
Studies have shown that there is minimal Grizzly and Caribou activity so the impact should not be a concern, and the area is not an issue for spiritual grounds.

Unlike the controversy that has surrounded another proposed ski resort in B.C., the Jumbo Glacier project, the Valemount Glacier Destination Resort has support from local communities.
First lifts could be turning for the 2017-18 season
