Fortress Mountain is a ski resort in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada.
Located on the face of The Fortress, the resort spans over 3.8 km² form a top elevation of 2,369 m to the base at 2,040 m, and is serviced by 3 chairlifts (one triple, two doubles) and 2 T-bars. The longest run, at 2 km, has a vertical rise of 329 m.
The resort is located on Kananaskis trail (115 km west of Calgary). It is owned and operated by the Banff Rail Co.
[edit] 2006-07 season
The opening of the resort for the 2006-07 ski season is expected to be delayed. The provincial Director of Fair Trading issued an order in early November requiring the owners of the resort to, among other things, cease advertising services that they cannot currently provide and to stop selling season passes for 2006-07 and 2007-08. The owners of the resort intend to appeal the order, but have removed from the resort's website any reference to an opening date.
