As an eco-resort, we operate in harmony with its beautiful, natural environment. Our philosophy is to fully engage and enjoy the spectacular setting using self propelled activities, while utilizing clean energy sources, and recycling everything we can. It is our goal to enjoy the Rocky Mountains in non-consumptive ways.
The resorts power is sourced from the sun, the stream, and the forest. We are completely off grid. Being solar & micro-hydro powered, all of the eco-resort’s electricity is generated via clean and natural means. The majority of the resorts heating needs are satisfied by salvaging dead wood from the woodlot and burning it in a central boiler to provide hot water heating to the guest cabins and other buildings. Hot water is supplied using the same system.
All of the buildings and much of the furniture at the resort have been built from trees killed by the Mountain Pine Beetles. Our employees selectively horse-log the woodlot, mill the dead wood on our own bandsaw mill, and build everything on site, in their woodworking shop. The team creates all of their own designs and do all the construction themselves. They take great pride in the fact that the majority of the building materials are selectively pulled from the surrounding forest from trees that are already dead.
We take our environmental stewardship responsibilities seriously and therefore all of the forestry activities are done to enhance the wildlife habitat and recreational values of the land. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail system, and hunting is not permitted here.
The Bill Yearling Interpretive Cabin provides a home for our environmental learning center. Guests can access information on all aspects of our natural surroundings, history, and culture in this historic, interpretive facility. Anyone wishing to tour our facilities and learn more about the eco-resort can simply ask any staff members, and an educational tour will be arranged. The primary goal at the mountain resort is to offer comfortable accommodations and exciting and interesting activities in a sustainable, non-consumptive manner.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
