Every good plan begins with a great team.

 preserve. enhance. share.

Developing (or re-developing in this case) in a place as majestic as Fortress is something that must be done with the utmost care and attention. Fortress holds a special place in so many hearts, and it is up to us to make sure that we deliver a resort that links to the past while taking advantage of today’s technologies. It is also home to true wilderness, wilderness that we must do everything we can to preserve and enhance; it is after all why people love Fortress so much.

Fortress, version 2.0, will include a new / modern lift network, new in-ground utilities, new daylodge, expanded terrain, year round service & activities, and a modern base area accommodating a broad market with hotel, spa, hostel, brewery, retail, and interpretive facilities. A new Fortress will be able to accommodate many more visitors than in the past, with that, it is imperative that we keep the link to the Fortress of old. The character of the place was epic - who doesn’t dream about chilling out by the copper fireplace or charging down the FarSide Chutes? Linking this legacy into a new Fortress is always to be kept front of mind!
