"At the Provincial level we have now approved Kicking Horse's Master Plan," Premier Campbell said. "It opens up enormous opportunities; an opportunity to build tourism, to build this resort and to let it take the next step forward."
"Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has the natural assets to be one of the finest mountain resorts in North America," added President and CEO Steve Paccagnan.
Kicking Horse first opened its doors in December 2000 and has since invested CDN $100 million into the property.
The final step in the approval process under the Commercial Alpine Ski Policy will be the signing of the master development agreement.
