Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc.

A developer and operator of mountain resorts, Intrawest Resorts Holdings owned iconic ski destinations like Whistler Blackcomb, Steamboat, and Stratton, and through Canadian Mountain Holidays ran the world's largest heli-skiing operation. It began in 1976 as a Vancouver real estate firm founded by Joe Houssian, who moved into skiing after meeting Blackcomb's president. The name blends "intra" (within) with "West," reflecting its Western Canada roots.
