Tyax Mountain Lake Resort, a spectacular wilderness lodge north of Whistler and west of Lillooet, is celebrating its 20 th anniversary since opening in 1986. The secret to their success? Still running the show is Founder and President Gus Abel, who laughs when reflecting on the early days and painful meetings with bankers to pitch his dream of building a wilderness lodge for families. “They said the location was too far from popular destinations to be successful”, recalls Gus. “Fortunately, a Swiss investor shared my dream and helped make this resort a reality.”

Tyax has evolved into a world-class, year round (and profitable) destination resort and Gus says it’s time to celebrate their success. “We will have lots of nice little surprises for guests at the resort over the year. One of the first things is to give something back to the guests who helped us realize this dream, so we are mailing them Tyax ‘cash’ and a special invitation to return.” The Tyax cash is several $20 vouchers each, which guests can redeem and apply to the cost of various activities offered right at the resort. These include horseback riding, floatplane adventures, guided ATV rides, fly-casting and goldpanning lessons, interpretive nature walks, and other activities.
