Visitor Reviews of Ymir Backcountry Ski Lodge
- Pete from Canada writes:
Ymir Backcountry lodge has been ‘condemned.’ It has ‘stop work’ ‘do not occupy’ orders issued by regional district of central kootenays. The instruction has been not to operate out of this building for 5 years, yet the business and custodian trespassed and operated without occupancy except for one season due to the Covid pandemic. Ymir Backcountry Lodge was never a legal structure and is infested with black mould, Ecoli and other high amounts of bacteria from poor waste management and high CO2 levels due to no ventilation system making the fittest of guests and guides sick. Operation is continued without tenure/lease with the ministry of forests of the provincial government (expired Dec 2022) by employing site manager/custodian who is fully aware of this criminal enterprise. They have fines for defying and ignoring the health and safety issues that are now with collection agencies and they claims to be a ‘freeman of the land’ ignoring all government agencies. I have photo documentation of the mould and correspondence from RDCK, Interior Health, Ministry of Forests, and worksafe BC that proves the information I have provided here. The terrain is amazing. It's a shame such an ignorant criminal has no respect for their guests wellbeing or the rule of laws that are in place for health and safety of the public.
