Annika goes skiing with Howard Katkow

http://www.annikablog.com/2009/02/next-stop.html February 15, 2009 Next Stop... Hello again. The next stop on our honeymoon has brought us to Red Mountain, Rossland, BC Canada. This is one of the oldest ski mountains in northern America. The first skiers pioneered the mountain around 1890’s and lifts were put in about 50 years later. Lodging consisted of small, rustic antique log homes spread out on the mountain sides and despite government control they still belong to the original families. Together with an average of - 400 inches of snow each year, “Red” is known for its powder. However, so far it’s been a slow year so we are sticking to the groomed runs… Another reason for our visit is that this is where I am designing a golf course with Thomas McBroom. We are in the permit process and we are striving to make this one of the “first green courses” in the world to maintain its ecological and natural feel. The course site is quite rugged and has a lot of changes in elevation, which will make the course fun to play. Once this course is finished, Red Mountain will be able to service mountain enthusiasts with amenities for every season. We just finished a few morning runs with one of the owners Howard Katkow and his staff. It was a perfect way to start the day while getting the local flavor and traditions. Now we are cozily relaxing in our mountainside condo with the fire going. Happy belated Valentine’s Day to you all.

So has 'Katkow' (sic) misled Annika Sorenstam into thinking that this golf course is merely going through "the permit process", or is Annika Sorenstam misleading her adoring fans?

As far as I know, it's still on the boards. They're relocating the course elsewhere, such as across the highway. I've no idea, really. But the plans are definitely not in the trash bin.

How is it credible to characterize this golf course proposal as "in the permit process"? Has Red even assembled sufficient land for which it now has the right to enter into a permit process for an alternative location? If it has then the company should tell the community about it. It appears that Ms. Sorenstam didn't get the memo that the course was going to be in an alternative location: http://www.annikasorenstam.com/red_mountain.htm Could it be that Ms. Sorenstam doesn't really know what Red put Rossland through last year? |
