Amanda Pettigrew
Managing Partner
Canmore, Alberta
A mountain business earns in four months and pays wages in twelve.
That arithmetic ends most independent owners eventually — one bad snow year, one wet summer. We capitalise for it deliberately, and we keep staff on through the quiet months because a crew rebuilt every spring is a business run badly.
We own in eight towns across Alberta, British Columbia and Colorado. We keep the names, because in a mountain town the name is most of the goodwill.
A crew you rebuild every spring is a business you are running badly.
Before we start
01
A season we can extend
Something with a summer answer, or a reason people come in November.
02
A crew worth keeping
Guides, mechanics, chefs. The licence to operate is the people.
03
A town that is not a resort
Somewhere with a school and a hardware store. Those places endure.
One hotel, twelve months of revenue
Wages are paid in all twelve

The four months in accent colour are the ones that end independent owners. We capitalise for them at purchase, and keep the crew.
