Fortress Mountain Holdings Ltd. is headed by Joey O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien's ski industry experience includes formerly owning Ski Martock in Nova Scotia for 25 years, and performing as COO for Alpine Canada Alpin[1].

The resort requires substantial upgrades and will remain closed until they are completed.

Fortress Mountain Holdings will release periodic updates via Ski Fortress
It would AWESOME if this were to happen, but the likely hood of it happening this season are slim. (unless they have been working over the summer on it) The major upgrades would be The lodge, The road, the bridge and a serious over haul of all the lifts that have been sitting dormant over the last few years. the guy's how tried this before ran in to trouble with each of these items and put make up on a pig to try and get approval from the AB govt. I would be extremely surprised if this happened, but extremely happy if it cam true!
