Police say the building is a total loss, but no one was believed to be inside.
It took place within the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George (RDFFG) and Director of External Relations Renee McCloskey says the whole area is still in shock.
“It’s a local business that has been around for about 30 to 40 years and we’re just thankful no one was injured.”
She adds the blaze could have a negative trickle-down effect on skiing community.
“There is certainly going to be an impact and hopefully, once the owners have a chance to assess things, we hope there is an opportunity to re-open.”
