My concern with this project is more on the side if this new resort would make financial sense and would they be able to have snow in the world where climate change is making winters much warmer. We know that the North Shore resorts are already having tough time if a winter is warm.
Garibaldi Mountain, peaking at 2678 meters, is considerably higher than the local North Shore mountains,and Hemlock (example Grouse Mountain is only 1231 meters tall)

So, similar to Whistler, the majority of the skiing areas would likely be considerably higher in elevation, making them less susceptible to having winters with no snow.
