With a network of premier resorts ranging from the tops of towering mountains to championship golf courses and pristine beaches, our resorts offer the allure and beauty of nature with the promise of experiences to last a lifetime. The Intrawest network of resorts has captured the hearts of a loyal and growing customer base. With over seven million annual skier visits on nine mountains, thousands of golfers on a network of championship golf courses, thousands more visiting lakeside and ocean beaches, and offering adventure travel around the globe through Abercrombie & Kent, Intrawest is positioned among the leaders in the leisure travel industry. Founded in 1976, Intrawest began as a residential and urban real estate firm. In the mid-1980s the company developed a unique marriage of mountain resort operations and real estate expertise. Today, Intrawest has interests in nine resorts at North America¡¦s most popular mountain destinations, including Whistler Blackcomb, a host venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Intrawest owns Alpine Helicopters Ltd., the parent company of Canadian Mountain Holidays, the largest heli-skiing operation in the world, and owns a 67 per cent interest in Abercrombie & Kent, the world leader in adventure travel. The Intrawest network also includes Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Florida and Club Intrawest¡Xa private resort club with nine locations throughout North America and in Europe. Intrawest's world-class assets have truly become premier destinations through the passion of the company¡¦s 24,800 employees. The success and growth of Intrawest is the result of a combination of spectacular resort locations and creative and motivated people constantly striving to ensure that Intrawest resorts are the most animated and exciting playgrounds in the world. In 2006, Intrawest was acquired by Fortress Investment Group LLC. Alex Wasilov, President and Chief Operating Officer, assumed the executive leadership role following the retirement of Joe Houssian, founder and former Chief Executive Officer. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Intrawest ULC is a privately held company and a wholly owned subsidiary of a corporation that is indirectly owned by the Fortress Funds.
