Lost Ski Resorts of British Columbia

British Columbia is a vast province. With over 944,000 square kilometres of land, British Columbia is Canada’s third largest province. And this very large province hosts some of the world’s greatest ski resorts. However, unknown to many skiers, British Columbia is home to a host of abandoned ski hills, completely forgotten in time. Some of these places have been closed for decades, virtually nothing remaining of the original skiing operations. Other hills have left behind traces - rusting t-bar lifts, old ski lodges and ski runs barely visible on the mountain. These places, though now quiet, were once bustling enterprises, many being the heart of the communities they served. One by one, they all closed for various reasons, their memory slowly fading away. In this video, I will take you through most of British Columbia’s lost ski areas.

Please note that there are many more forgotten ski areas in British Columbia, but including all of them would have been incredibly challenging, so what I have here will have to do.
