Golden, British Columbia, CA: Outdoor Sportsman’s Paradise
For the outdoors sportsman Golden is the ideal destination, offering a variety of year-round activities.
Golden is a village of 10,000 population situated in the confluence of the British Columbia and Kicking Horse rivers in a long deep valley between the Rocky and Purcell Mountain ranges in eastern BC, at an elevation of 790 m [2591 ft] located at the heart of six mountainous national parks:
Yoho, Banff, Jasper, Kootenay Glacier and Mount Revelstoke. Yoho National Park, the ‘adopted’ park of the community, is a half-hour drive east of Golden.
You can climb the mountain of your choice by vehicle, mountain climbing or ice climbing through mid-November through March, or in the gondola at Kicking Horse Resort.
There are a variety of ways to descend the long, steep sided mountain ranges. From May to September mountain biking, hang/para gliding, bungee jumping. And, of course, snowboarding and skiing are popular during the winter.
Tourism became popular in the early 1900′s when the CPR employed Swiss guides. The lure of fresh, unconquered peaks and indeed, the prospect of viewing and experiencing the untouched wilderness of an infant country enticed Europeans and eastern Canadians to fill CPR passenger cars and their hotel rooms.
To make Swiss employees feel more at home, the CPR constructed Swiss-style chalets and called their accomplishment Edelweiss Village. Today the original homes stand overlooking Golden as the town draws ever more tourism.
From Golden, Banff is l15 km east; Calgary is 263 km east; Lake Louise, about an hour east on Hwy 1; Vancouver, 713 km west; Glacier National Park is two hours east on Hwy 1, and north on Hwy 93; Kootenay Natl Park is one hour south on Hwy 95; Mt. Revelstoke National Park is 1 1/2 hours west on Hwy 1; and Yoho National Park is 1/2-hour east on Hwy 1.
Winter Activities:
Tobogganing, skating, or Nordic skiing through rolling windy trails through the forests – and from mid-November to the end of March: downhill skiing, snowboarding, heli-skiing, cat skiing, snowmobile, dog sledding, and ice climbing.
Downhill (Alpine) & Cat Skiing / Snowboarding:
The new Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is being developed into a 250-acre resort with views of the Canadian Rockies and encompassing 4005 acres of ski and snowboarding terrain.

British Turntable added an extra dimension to the showroom previews of the new Mercedes Benz B-Class Multi Activity Vehicle when the company hired a number of Olympian 4.5 automotive turntables and Mini Carousels to the event organisers, Elevation Events Group plc, and provided staff to set up and de-rig the revolves at multiple sites throughout the UK.
The event was held at no fewer than 26 venues over a five week period, including one in Northern Ireland, each of which required one Olympian and three Mini Carousels to create the desired effect. British Turntable staff attended every event to support the four Elevations Events Group teams and ensure everything ran smoothly. Elevation Events Group created a stunning and eye-catching display, using the turntable movement to maximum effect by revolving the car on the Olympian and using each Mini Carousel to turn a giant polystyrene letter B.
“The purpose of the programme was to expose this completely new product to existing and potential Mercedes-Benz customers in order to generate pre-launch sales and interest.” said Gordon Freshwater, Corporate Events Manager at DaimlerChrylser UK. “The B-class is the first ever small MPV in the Mercedes-Benz range, and we wanted to give it the prominence it deserved.”
Elevation Events Group chose British Turntable revolves to add a different dimension to the showrooms, making the car more visible and allowing customers to get an all-round view of it.
“By having movement within the showrooms the objectives for generating interest from customers were readily achieved, and the British Turntable staff knew a lot about the product by the time the programme had ended,” says Claire Gill, the event manager for the programme.
The Olympian 4.5 metre revolve was developed to provide a stylish, elegant and effective display medium for the car showroom. Built in a modular format with an attractive deck, it is easy and quick to assemble without any special tools and can therefore be moved around to create a different focus or change the mood. The modular format makes it ideal for temporary exhibitions, product launches or reveals.
Other revolves ideally suited for automotive display include the Merlin Major 21, a highly portable option that is almost invisible in operation, and a full range of revolving stages, from 2 metres diameter upwards, that can be surface-mounted or flush-fitted into the showroom floor as required.
The Mini Carousel is one of British Turntable’s most enduring and popular revolves among more than 100 items offered in the company’s standard display movement portfolio. This portfolio includes small battery-operated turntables as well as larger units, available for sale or hire, that are capable of creating large, complex display combinations using optional extras such as static centres, oscillation, timed or positional hesitation.

Bolton, U.K. (PRWEB) November 16, 2005
British Turntable has supplied a second 15 metre diameter HGV access turntable to Waitrose, creating an efficient loading and unloading operation at the company’s new store in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. The contract follows the success of the unit British Turntable had previously installed in the underground loading area at the Surbiton store in Surrey.
Installation of the turntable has allowed the service yard to occupy as little land as possible, leaving more space for the store’s sales area; additionally, vehicles can drive straight into and out of the service area, a safer procedure for the village, whose roads are very narrow and busy.
The turntable fills the service yard and is capable of taking an articulated truck up to 16.5m long and with 40 tonnes capacity. On entering the yard from the main road, the truck drives straight onto the turntable and is then rotated approximately 90 degrees to line it up with the unloading dock; after unloading it can be rotated a further 90 degrees to allow it to drive straight out again.
As the service area is so restricted the turntable has been designed to allow cages to be stored on an area of the turntable not required by the truck and also for a transit-sized van, used by the store for home deliveries, to be parked on the turntable without preventing an articulated truck from using it. The cages and van simply rotate with the turntable.
A safety light beam has been installed to protect a static construction close to the turntable; if the beam is broken this will stop the turntable from rotating further.
The Waitrose turntable has been adapted from one of British Turntable’s standard vehicle revolve designs and is typical of the many vehicle revolves which British Turntable has manufactured and installed in government buildings, major high street stores and other commercial establishments throughout the world.
Standard features of the HGV access revolve design include: a fixed speed rotation of 0.5rpm, which allows vehicles to be moved into the ideal position in only 60 seconds; yellow markers to make positioning of the vehicle on the turntable easier; and a vandal-proof, security key protected control box to aid the manoeuvring process. The turntable components are generally located in a pit that has provision for water drainage.
