$300m EXPANSION

slackcomb gets overhaul

BLACKCOMB Mountain management is hoping the
mountain’s chairlift expansion and a $300 million real
estate program will place it among the world’s best
resort destinations.

Blackcomb will install three new high-speed quad-
ruple chairlifts for the 1987-88 season. These chairlifts
— The Wizard, Solar Coaster and 7th Heaven Express
— will cut travel time up the mountain.

. The Blackcomb development will also include a real
estate program adjacent to Whistler Village.

Development on nine sites will be. complete in two
to three years at a cost of $80 million.

The total development features 254 acres of prime

real estate on the lower slopes of Blackcomb Moun-
tain, east of Fitzsimmons Creek, stretching from
Whistler Village to Lost Lake.

With an investment of more than $300 million over
15 years, Blackcomb will be close to 24 times larger
than the present Whistler Village.

The development will feature hotels, lodges,
townhouses, condominiums, duplexes, as well as
single-family homes.

The development is managed by Vancouver’s In-
trawest Properties on behalf of the owner, Blackcomb
Skiing Enterprises. The location will allow skiers to
drive directly to their accommodation and be at the
top of the slopes within 14 minutes.
