Who is the Developer of Pinnacle Ridge Resort?
Pinnacle Ridge Resort is the dream and creation of John Paone that began in 2000. John, a partner in Alfred Horie Construction, wanted to blend his talent for building and design with his passion for skiing. Like so many skiers and adventurers, once he visited Fernie, he was hooked by the magnificent mountains, all terrain sports, and the friendly people of Fernie. As a carpenter, foreman, site superintendent and developer, he knew he had something to offer this special place by offering quality design and construction. Coming to Fernie during a time of transition and growth, John has become involved in many community committees. He has brought to Fernie the World Cup Freestyle Event, Chairs the community business group for the 2010 Olympics and participates regularly in District and Chamber of Commerce meetings. John, his wife and three teenage children live in Vancouver B.C. but think of Fernie as their second home.
