Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing has ceased all operations after a client tested positive for COVID-19.
The guest was skiing on a private group package with the Revelstoke-based company from March 8 to 11, said a statement from the company. The company received notification from the client on March 16 of the positive results.
In an email to resort staff on March 16 from Peter Nielsen, vice-president of operations, he wrote that three guides and one pilot are currently in self-quarantine with no symptoms. The email states that the client stayed at the Sutton Place Hotel, dined at the Rockford, the Mackenzie Tavern and skied at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
“As a precautionary measure, we are working on a timeline bases on recommendations from B.C. Public Health and will be contacting any individuals who are presumed to have interacted with these guests,” states the email.
Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing plans to remain closed for the rest of the season.
It was acquired by Revelstoke Mountain Resort in 2007.
RMR also closed this week due to concerns about coronavirus.
