 Logging near the resort base in Upper Jumbo Creek Valley. While the Proponent recognizes that logging and mining will continue to play a critical role in British Columbia's economy for some years to come, the Jumbo Creek Valley, because of its prior use, its glaciers and easy access (as was also evidenced by the Government's C.O.R.E. report), represents the most feasible location for year-round skiing in North America. It is a unique opportunity to further diversify the B.C. economy in a location where further physical and ecological changes to the environment will be minimal, especially in the context of a compact resort base (40 acres) and single family vacations homes (238 acres) in a 14 km long heavily logged, mined and used valley.
