Three large subranges of the Selkirks will be involved in the ski lift infrastructure. Design and construction of all infrastructure, buildings, and ski lifts will be done in the spirit of environmental conservation to minimize impact, and the resort will develop renewable energy sources to work toward a zero net-energy presence. Two trams transport sightseers to the peaks of Adamant Mountain (10,974') and Mount Sir Sandford (11,545') for extraordinary views of the resort and surrounding mountain wilderness. The resort will also feature a few golf courses. A scattering of luxury hotels and lodges can be found throughout the area, some of which are only accessible by ski lifts or helicopters. Night-skiing will be available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays above the town of Everly on the Northeast aspect of Tabernacle Mountain. The town of Everly will include a small college and a local hospital. Each town will have a central architectural theme that models different areas of the world of skiing. All buildings must meet pre-established architectural standards, and neighborhoods will be modeled after private communities like Martis Camp in California's Lake Tahoe region, The Colony in Park City, and Montana's Yellowstone Club. Small neighborhoods of custom homes will be available for permanent residents outside of each town and around the region based on demand. Some villages will have direct ski-in/ski-out access, and feature trails that weave right between the buildings. A system of trains and trucks will move personal items between villages while patients ski during the day for those who are changing lodging accommodations. Only full-time residents of the area will be allowed to have vehicles at all vacationers will need to leave their vehicles in the parking lot in Donald and take the train (or arrive by plane or boat). All downtown areas are designed to be vehicle-free (in similar fashion to Zermatt) to add to the small-town ambiance and prevent congestion, but will have local transportation in the form of cable cars and buses to help move visitors around. The towns will encompass lodging, shops and eateries. The proposed plan includes two large mountain villages (Everly and Loganville) and nine satellite villages all eleven establishments are accessible by public transportation. Ski resorts like these, which feature many villages interconnected by expansive ski lift and trail systems, are virtually unheard of in North America (Utah's One Wasatch concept would be the first if it ever garners approval). The development is modeled after resorts like France's Les Trois Vallees, Italy's Via Lattea, and Austria's Kitzbuhel (KitzSki). After surveying mountains all over the continent (and the world) using topographical/slope steepness data and extrapolated precipitation patterns, this location was decided upon for its vertical drop, slope aspect (skiable slopes mostly face north instead of south), projected snowfall totals and snow quality, varied terrain, and natural beauty. The Canadian Rockies hold some of the best potential worldwide for the ultimate mountain resort based on geography and weather. For more information, please visit the Adamant Resort website! Next time!ĪRMR is a theoretical European-style ski resort in the pristine Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. I now know that most people use a far easier and sneakier way around the rock glacier. I was totally worked by the second time I came over! And this time I opted to descend the scree further toward Pleasant instead of chop more steps. Bask in the glory of the shimmering ocean to the west and colossal glaciers to the east.Ĭoming back over Bombardment was the real test. Gain the ridge and hit all the high points, because who knows if the summit register is in the right place. This route bypasses some fun but unnecessary 3rd to 4th class scrambling up cliff bands.

Walk directly up to it, then take a ledge to your right. You'll eventually approach an obvious notch to your left, just below the ridge. Slog your way up this endless rock chute, stopping to examine or attempt some of the rowdy V0/V1 boulders along the way. From Bombardment, you'll see a 45 degree gully cutting up Rumble's SW face. The route finding is pretty obvious almost to the summit ridge.
