Kadenwood, Intrawest ULC's new luxury housing development located at the highest buildable point on Whistler Mountain will also have the distinction of being the first ski resort neighbourhood in Canada with its own gondola service.

The ski-in, ski-out neighbourhood, which consists of 60 large home-sites, is located 711 vertical feet above Whistler's Creekside Village. The private gondola will carry new owners and their luggage (think skis and snowboards in the winter, and strollers and bicycles for summer) from their new home site to-and-from Whistler's valley trails or Creekside in approximately six minutes.

"This new gondola will offer unprecedented, year-round access, and provide Kadenwood homeowners and guests with a swift and convenient connection to the numerous amenities of Creekside Village while maintaining the neighbourhood's exclusivity and privacy," says John Morley, VP of Development for Intrawest Placemaking, Intrawest's resort development subsidiary. Gondola construction is set to begin in the summer of 2008 and be operable by the 2008/2009 ski season.

Whether Whistler continues to get stellar winter seasons like this year's, or not, residents of Kadenwood will experience the best skiing conditions possible with their own dedicated Pisten Bully trail groomer.

Whistler's Creekside Village, which has received $215-million over the past view years in updates and renovations, will be Kadenwood's town core, giving residents direct access to shops, banking, groceries, restaurants and entertainment.

The aim of Kadenwood is to offer luxury resort living with choice in home design and "estate sized" lots which have been surveyed and planned to capitalize on convenience, comfort, panoramic views and style. "These are the only home-sites available in Whistler for a high end ski-in ski-out single family neighbourhood with breathtaking, sun exposed views of Whistler Peak, the Coastal Range and the surrounding lakes below," Mr. Morley says.

Lot sizes at Kadenwood range from one-third to one-half of an acre with a maximum building size of 7,500 sq. ft. Buyers have the option of designing the home or using the talents of an Intrawest expert.

Intrawest is also introducing a unique fixed-cost building program with a fractional down payment of 20 per cent for Kadenwood purchases.
