Who We Are:Nestled in the southwestern corner of Alberta, in the rugged and legendary Canadian Rockies, Castle is as authentic as it gets.

Here, we’re all family and you will quickly find you are right at home. If this sounds like you, then we want you to join us. Our resort is not owned or operated by a large ski conglomerate; rather by a bunch of local skiers and riders who are passionate about steep terrain and great snow.Operational decisions are made here (head office = the basement of the day lodge) and our long‑term direction is plotted by a group of passionate, volunteer board of directors who represent more than 200, predominately local shareholders.
