Canyon Hill Developments CEO, Christian Wray Explains Why He Fell In Love With The Beaver Valley
The transformative power of one visit
The allure of skiing is often encapsulated in the thrill of the slopes, the crisp winter air and, as Christian Wray, CEO of Canyon Hill Developments, and his family discovered, the unique social atmosphere of a ski club. Wray recently shared on the Fiat Lux Podcast a transformative day his family spent in the Beaver Valley, which not only changed their leisure pursuits but also their lifestyle aspirations and his business ventures.
Falling In Love With The Beaver Valley
It all began with a simple set of guest passes to the Beaver Valley Ski Club. Wray, along with his wife and two daughters, were invited for a day trip that quickly turned into an unexpected life-changing experience. The charms of the Beaver Valley were immediate and profound:
- The serene beauty of the landscape
- The welcoming warmth of the fires at night
- The vibrant social scene that thrives there
More Than Just Skiing
What struck Wray the most was the sense of community and the balanced way of life he observed. “We got to stay up there and see the way of life for people that were making the trip up on the weekends,” Wray noted, highlighting how the social aspect of the club added a deeper dimension to the skiing experience. The family outings were not just about physical activity but about forging lasting bonds and creating cherished memories.
Integrating The Beaver Valley
Inspired by their experiences, the Wray family decided to make the Beaver Valley a regular part of their lives. The decision was driven by the desire to enrich their family bonding and to embrace a lifestyle that blends adventure with social enjoyment.
The story of the Wray family’s single day at the Beaver Valley Ski Club serves as a heartwarming reminder of how new experiences can swiftly morph into passionate pursuits and lifestyle transformations. It underscores the idea that sometimes, one day is all it takes to discover a new facet of life, a new hobby, or even a new home away from home.
Investing In Flesherton
As a result of Wray’s exposure to the Beaver Valley, Canyon Hill has decided to invest in Flesherton. They’ve purchased a parcel of land with plans to build affordable apartment units. Canyon Hill is known for its sustainable development practices and the project one of several in the area adding capacity to the currently strained rental market.
