Hidden Valley Ski Resort (HVSR), located in Cypress Hills Provincial Park near Elkwater, Alberta, has been operating since 1967 and features a range of ski lifts including a fixed grip quadruple chairlift, T-bar, handle tow, and moving carpet conveyor, serving twelve trails over a vertical drop of 170 meters. With a snowmaking system covering 95% of the skiable terrain, the resort has a total skier capacity of 2,890 per hour. However, due to aging infrastructure, there is a need to conduct a comprehensive functional assessment of the snowmaking system as part of a new Facility Master Plan that will guide the long-term development vision for HVSR. The assessment excludes the base area facilities, which will be reviewed separately. The Government of Canada, through its Forestry and Parks agency, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified engineering consultants to perform the infrastructure assessment as defined by the project plan. The RFP highlights that proponents must demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications to deliver a thorough evaluation of the snowmaking system to inform future decisions regarding resort upgrades. The proposal deadline is January 30, 2026, and inquiries are to be directed to the Contracting Authority, Jack Shipton. This initiative aims to ensure the ski resort’s infrastructure is evaluated to support sustainable operations and strategic development over the coming decades.

Full Description

Show more
Hidden Valley Ski Resort (HVSR) located in Cypress Hills Provincial Park that has been in operation since 1967. The base area facilities are located on Highway 41, approximately 1.5 km southeast of the Elkwater Townsite, and 65 km from the City of Medicine Hat. HVSR currently operates one fixed grip quadruple chairlift (subject to replacement), one T-bar surface lift, on handle tow surface lift and one moving carpet conveyor belt surface lift. These lifts have a total hourly capacity of 2,890 skiers per hour and service twelve trails on 170 meters of skiable vertical drop. HVSR currently operates a snowmaking system which provides 95% coverage of the skiable terrain. Due to aging infrastructure, a functional assessment of the snow-making will inform a new Facility Master Plan that will set a development vision for HVSR over the next several decades. This infrastructure assessment will provide a key decision point that will support the overall project plan. The Base Area Facilities will be assessed separately from this project. The purpose of this RFP is to invite Proposals from suitably qualified Proponents who demonstrate sufficient experience and qualification to provide a comprehensive infrastructure assessment of sites as identified and supported by the Project Plan. Refer to the RFP document for additional information and complete scope of work.
