The developers of a contentious year-round ski resort west of Invermere, B.C. have been told to stop construction on two buildings until new safety conditions can be met in the event of an avalanche.
The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office has found two sites — a day lodge and a service building — at the Jumbo Glacier Resort in southeastern B.C., are in an avalanche zone.
In an April 24 letter sent to Glacier Resorts co-owner Oberto Oberti, the office said the two buildings are not in compliance with provincial conditions that prohibit commercial or residential buildings from avalanche zones. As a result, Glacier Resorts must “cease construction of structures” in both locations, the letter said.
