Business Feature by Sandra Kelly
Pineridge Mountain Resort, high above the shores of Lake Windermere, off ers alpine splendor and wil-derness tranquility, but also close access to the shops, restaurants and recreational amenities that make the Columbia Valley so popular.
When it is complete, seven to ten years from now, this master-planned resort will contain 300 single-family homes, 400 villas and alpine-style town homes, eight kilometers of walking trails and a recreation centre. Th e latter will have meeting facilities and 60 apartment suites, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a profes-sional fi tness facility, steam showers, a terraced patio and a grand residents’ lounge with a stone fi replace.
“Pineridge Mountain Resort will be a world class resort community,” says Jon Dick, Vice President with the Statesman Group of Companies. “We are off ering a secure investment to our buyers and a stunning place in which to vacation or to live year-round.”
Th e resort will be a sustainable green community with almost 40 percent of its total area dedicated to forest and green space. Statesmen will employ Built Green Technology in the design and construction of the town homes, and use xeriscaping on every build-ing lot. Th ere will be no fences. “We want to maintain a feeling of spaciousness and untouched wilderness,” says Mr. Dick.
Phase I of the resort incorporates 26 town homes being built by Statesman. Th ese premium quality homes are priced from $499,000. Outside, the re-sort has an alpine theme. Inside, buyers can choose to go either rustic or contemporary. “We recognize that tastes diff er,” says Mr. Dick. “We’re fi nding that people really appreciate being given the choice.”

Th e drive from Banff to Radium is one of the most beautiful in the world.Th e highway is wide and smooth, unlike some others in the province, and Parks Canada maintains the road very well.
But here are a few facts that you might fi nd helpful on your next trip:
• If you want to check road con-ditions before you leave, call the Parks Canada Road Report line in Banff at (403) 762-1450.
• Make sure you fi ll up before you leave your home or cabin, because there are no service stations in Banff or Kootenay National Parks. If you’re run-ning short, there is a gas station just off the Trans-Canada at Castle Mountain Chalets, at the junction with Highway 93. Not visible from the road, it’s locat-ed on the north side of the overpass.
• Th ere is no public bathroom at the park entrance near Radium, so don’t
wait for a last-minute stop.• Th e Kootenay Park Lodge Visitor
Centre is 45 minutes north of Radium,and here paying customers can have a bathroom break, buy snacks and view some interpretive displays. Th ere’s no gas for sale, however, and the centre isn’topen in winter.
• Th ere are several outdoor toiletsthroughout the parks, but only one full-service public bathroom with fl ush toi-lets: at the Kootenay Crossing warden’sstation, located in a small cluster of buildings on the north side of the high-way.
• Th ere are no fewer than 11 picnicsites along the 94-kilometre trip fromCastle Mountain to Radium. Take a picnic and stop at one of these lovely spots along the way. Paint Pots is a funplace for the kids. Marble Canyon hasreopened after the forest fi re of 2004. Olive Lake has a wheelchair-accessibleboardwalk. Plan to visit them all.
