About
Saddle Mountain is a proposed ski resort in British Columbia, tied to Mike Wiegele's heliskiing operation near Blue River. The plan calls for roughly 30 kilometres of runs and a vertical near 1,300 metres served by detachable chairlifts, intended so guests can still ski when weather grounds the helicopters. The project holds an approved provincial master plan but has not been built.
