March madness is over now and that marks the beginning of the end of the ski season for us as it seems. The weather is getting warm, clocks changed, and the rain has started….at least for us in the east. We may be early, but we’re going to take a look back on the season we had.

In a joint announcement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Barack Obama announced a large tourism investment project that will help American visitors enjoy efficient and affordable access to the Canadian Rockies.

This innovative form of international travel will allow U.S. tourists direct access to Banff and Lake Louise with a single lift ticket thanks to the construction of a high-speed chairlift in each U.S. state over the next 5 years.

Economists estimate the current value of the project at 1.5B U.S. dollars or 750B Canadian dollars.

A plan to expand Wolf Creek on the backside of the ski area is one step closer to fruition. The president and CEO of Wolf Creek, Davey Pitcher, just submitted a proposal to the San Juan National Forest that asks for an expansion of the ski area’s permit boundary.

That’s a bold step, as even ski areas that look to expand within their current permitted boundaries face a long and arduous review process. But the Denver Post reports that the Kevin Khung, the San Juan Forest’s Pagosa district ranger, will now lead a 60-day review of the Wolf Creek expansion application. After two months, the application will be deemed a formal proposal and spark an environmental review and public scoping that could take two years.

The difference between Wolf Creek’s development proposals and other ski area master plans is stark. Instead of focusing on real estate and over-the-top luxury amenities like on-mountain restaurants, Wolf Creek is all about the skiing. The bulk of the new expansion is into expert terrain that will only be used by a small proportion of the skiing population. But that’s what Wolf Creek wants: to serve as a destination for people who are all about the skiing and snowboarding.
