Silver Summit - The Lost Resorts, Episode 31

In the rolling hills north of the town of Edson lay one of Alberta’s most underrated ski areas. Silver Summit once boasted a vertical drop of almost 200 metres, with a single chairlift spanning over a kilometre in length. And until recently, it seemed as if Silver Summit may be on the comeback. This video has been on my to do list for awhile, and I’m glad to finally be getting the chance to talk about this extremely unknown and unique mountain.

The Lost Resorts is a weekly video series that focuses on the history of lost ski resorts in North America. New episodes release every Thursday at 5:15am MST (unless otherwise notified). Join me as we take a look at the lost resorts of North America.
