Company Overview |
Founded in 1976, Intrawest began as a residential and urban real estate firm. In the mid-1980s the company combined its real estate and mountain operations expertise to form a unique village-centered offering, which has proven extremely attractive to its customers. Today, Intrawest has interests in a network of resorts at North America's most popular mountain destinations, including Whistler Blackcomb, a host venue for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The Intrawest network also includes Canadian Mountain Holidays, the largest heli-skiing operation in the world, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Florida and Club Intrawest—a private resort club with exclusive locations around the world.
The success and growth of Intrawest is the result of a combination of spectacular resort locations and creative and motivated people that constantly strive to create places where amazing experiences happen for our resort guests and our homeowners.
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Intrawest is a portfolio company controlled primarily by private equity funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC.
