History
Snowridge was the original name of the resort when it opened in 1967. It operated until 2005, when it shut down suffering from neglect. Before being purchased by Fortress Mountain Holdings Ltd., the area had previously been owned by Banff Rail Company, as well as Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR). Aspen Skiing Co. owned the resort in the 1970s and 1980s. In late November 2009, scenes from the film Inception were shot there. In December 2011, the resort hosted the cast and crew from The Bourne Legacy. The area has been featured in many other movies, such as The Claim (2000), Van Helsing (2004), Brokeback Mountain (2005), RV (2006), The Revenant (2015), and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), as well as many television commercials.
