Fortress Mountain Resort Documentary

Fortress Mountain Resort holds a special place in the hearts of all skiers in southern Alberta in the 80's. Break out your Sun Ice, neon sunblock and take a trip down memory lane while enjoying this short documentary on the past, present and future of Fortress Mountain Resort.

Located deep in the heart of Kananaskis country east of Banff National Park, Fortress was legendary for its deep powder snow and breathtaking mountain views. Known now as a favorite filming location for Hollywood, including blockbusters Inception, Revenant and Jumanji, Fortress has played host to today's biggest film stars. You can visit today during the winter months on a guided snowshoe tour or catski program. In summer, White Mountain Adventures operates exclusive guided hiking programs with ATV Assist, so you can enjoy the high alpine ridgeline views without all the work (and if you were pounding those Fortress Moguls in the 80's let's face it those knees may not be up the long hike and big vertical otherwise).
