Fortress Mountain ski area, Alberta
|
| | This area is now closed indefinitely. says Tom West.
Fortress Mountain has an acceptable diversity of runs and sufficient good ski lifts to serve them all. All of the 6 great ski lifts are in fine condition. The 1,082 feet of altitude difference is not too shaggy; it's enough to get some decent time on the runs between lifts. This ski mountain has a much lower than average fraction of tough ski trails and a much higher than average proportion of intermediate or beginner runs. With a total of 47 runs to ski on; |
|
it's a fine collection. A brilliant workout and a chance to spend some time in the outdoors are brilliant incentives to come. This ski resort has more snowfall than the local average each winter season. Fortress Mountain is a cozier than average ski hill having

Winter in the mountains of Alberta and the fine sense of rocketing down the ski runs are guaranteed to keep you coming back. There's 400 acres of terrain, and it's all in good shape. The white snow here becomes very deep, 53 feet per year, and that is a tremendously good coverage. No matter if you're skiing or snowboarding, around here, you'll locate many brilliant | |
