Following the dramatic mudslide that sent a debris flow through Fairmont Creek and disrupted the entire village, the staff at Fairmont Hot Springs jump for joy as the resort, the lodge and the hot springs pools re-open on Friday (August 3). A few canyon hiking trails, the ski area and the Mountainside golf course and clubhouse remain closed. The resort has been working with renowned Canadian golf course architect Doug Carrick on how to use deposited materials to improve impacted holes and expects Mountainside to be up and running again soon.
