Here's hoping. I'd like to see fortress open, and both nakiska and fortress passes offered at a price point around 400 to 500.

Holy hell, yup a resort anywhere near Grande Prairie would be a hold mine. They pay 600 bucks for a riverbank pass!

Thinking about getting a pass for Pass Powderkeg in Blairmore this year. Short days but it gives the opportunity for a few hours of dedicated practice time.

My buddy lives in Blairmore, he has a pass there and loves it. Additionally, they allow uphill travel there which is awesome

Holy crap, Pass Powderkeg pass is half the price of Nitehawk. That's wild. Poor Grande Prairians
