Corporate Overview


Intrawest ULC is a world leader in the development and management of experiential destination resorts.  Our resort network ranges from the tops of towering mountains to championship golf courses and pristine beaches around the world.  Intrawest offers the allure and beauty of nature with the promise of creating the best memories, again and again.

 

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 Winter Olympic and Paralympic 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 privately-held company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of private equity funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC.
