Kelowna Mountain

We heard about Kelowna mountain from Lucy's teacher who had been there the week before, so we decided we'd go and investigate.  The visionary behind the project has bought 640 acres of land that was burnt during the fire of 2003.  He intends to set up a ski resort, winery, housing and golf course with the intention of turning the black landscape green again.  I tell you if he pulls it off it will be an amazing achievement, however, rumour has it, it's a lame duck as he has failed to get permission from the authorities and has no amenities in place, no sewage, water or electricity.  Not deterred by this he has sold many real estate plots (what I believe has financed the project so far) and has installed a chair lift and built a series of amazing suspension bridges, reputedly the longest in North America.  So, The Carrs and the children's school buddies, The Brunts, went for a butchers after soccer one day, hence the rather bright yellow shirts. Minus Jamie who didn't even get onto the first bridge!!!  Check it out at kelownamountain.com
