  • WELCOME to a NEW ERA for APEX Dear Owners at Apex
    #ApexMountain ApexResort.com WELCOME TO A NEW ERA FOR APEX Dear Owners at Apex Mountain, As most of the owners of resort properties are likely aware, the ownership of Apex Mountain Resort changed hands this spring. I wanted to take an opportunity to introduce myself as the Managing Partner of this new group. My personal background is in senior leadership positions at Silver Star Mountain Resort, Sun Peaks Resort, top Resorts in Whistler and the board of Tourism of British Columbia. I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity to support this new group to maximize the future potential for Apex Mountain Resort. Change can often lead to concern and speculation about what might happen in the future, so I thought this would be a good chance to highlight some of the initiatives currently happening and the direction our new group would like to see for the resort. Envisioning When our group purchased Apex Resort, we had some ideas on how the resort’s long-term potential could be achieved. However, we are certain that the best direction for the Resort will be attained through a shared vision with all stakeholders. Over the next few months, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on the issues important to you, and how the resort might look in the future. Concurrent with this, we have officially notified the Mountains Resorts Branch of our intent to seek a new Master Development Agreement with the BC Government which will allow for future ski area and resort expansion. As well, we will soon be meeting with First Nations peoples and getting their input on direction and requesting their support for this endeavor.

  • Mammoth Fun Eastern Sierra Ski Area Is
    Mammoth Eastern Sierra ski area is Fun big and beautiful f By Rob Dunton 10 HORIZON AIR MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2009 The sun is out, and I’d love to stand here a while and soak up the incomparable view, but I’m on a mission to grab fresh tracks on Climax, a steep-face run high above the timberline. A late-March storm has left a bounty of fresh snow, and I need to move quickly because the high-speed Panorama Gondola is unloading a steady stream of equally zealous ski- ers behind me. I walk briskly to the edge of the cornice, strap on my snowboard, catch a quick glimpse of the White Mountains across the Owens Valley, and drop in. Within two turns, I have found a plot of untracked snow. My wide, flat board floats silently on the fresh powder. There are no jolts or bumps from preexist- ing tracks. Decades of lessons, stacks of lift tickets and innu- merable falls have paved the way for this blissful moment. I reach my hand toward the slope as I lean into the hill, and then turn down the face. My heart Left: Mammoth has pounds from exertion, my breath tightens from the excellent terrain for all altitude, but I do not stop. skill levels. Below: The The run empties into a wide gully, and I carve Mill Cafe at the base of long slalom turns back to the Panorama Gondola midstation.
