There are few ski resort operations with quite the complexity dreamed up for British Columbia’s Kelowna Mountain. Sadly what was envisioned to be a huge project has wound up essentially abandoned.
Real estate developer Mark Consiglio hoped to bring a ski hill, golf course, four suspension bridges, several vineyards, a wine cave, a welcome center, and a bunch of single family units to the area, raising money from both local and international investors. Construction began in 2009 and a welcome center, suspension bridges, ski runs, sun dial, and more were successfully built.
Problems with zoning and fights with the town led to a halt in construction, and the area has been in a sort of limbo for several years.
