Marina Update:
We had excellent cooperation from DFO, Nav Waters and MB Conservation and with that the dredging for the marina is 98% complete.
The process was, we had to dredge the marina area first, leave a berm between this area and the river, let the sediment settle for two days and then remove the berm which would then give us full access from the marina to the river.
Everything was completed except for the removal of the berm as it became too soft and wasn’t safe for the equipment. So at this time you have a great pool of water and a great river but no connection. We hope to get this solved yet, late this spring or early this summer. But if not the berm will be excavated this winter during freeze up.
Fabulous Changes & Upgrades at Asessippi this Summer:
We are significantly expanding our tubing park (almost double in size) plus we are installing the longest magic carpet on the prairies, at 650 feet long. This magic carpet will be used by skier using the beginner hill and tubers using the tubing hill. An outstanding addition making it much more comfortable for skiers and boarders on the beginner hill and our laughed so hard tubers.
Long Term Planning:
We are meeting with our resort planner, architect and management teams over the next two weeks to bring this nearer to conclusion. Lots of excellent ideas being discussed and we look forward to announcing our summer, winter and resort plans to you in the near future.
