This Lost Ski Resorts series is outstanding. These small ski areas were great entertainment for so many us and am grateful that you have taken the time to document these areas for us. I have watched almost all of these and enjoy them immensely. So sad these areas are gone to history. Thank you Skier 72 -- you're awesome dude.

I appreciate your comments! Especially on this video. My editing when I started the Lost Resorts was not as good as it's gotten today.

Went night skiing there in 1974....all I can remember were easy green runs ending at a nice warm lodge. A great little family mountain for beginners!!

Despite not being from the american continent at all, I for some reason adore watching these videos. Aside from seeing your research and production which I really appreciate, it's weirdly relaxing and nostlagic seeing the history of small, obsocure, Canadian ski resorts being told. Thank you so much and STAY STRONG, CANADA! ♥💪🇨🇦

I used to ski on this hill from the ages of about 6 till I was about 10 years old, so we are talking about the mid 70s to 1980. Back in the day, it was fantastic, for it was a short drive from Kamloops, literally 10-15 minutes out town in an area called Knutsford. It was economical and a fantastic family ski destination. There was the main chair and a T Bar and a rope that took you up the bunny hill. However, the sad part is that snow levels in Kamloops, for decades now, are often minute or sometimes completely absent during winter; however, back then, it was generally colder with more snow. Nevertheless, skiing on this mountain was fantastic fun and a memorable part of my childhood. I happy to see this video posted, but sad that there's very little footage of people in action on this hill.

Agreed, next to impossible to find any photos of this place in action. Thanks for your memories!

Thank you again for this video series, I truly appreciate it. I find it so sad how these small ski areas are gone now. I regularly ski at the tiny Valley ski area outside of Alliance and I do worry about what the future holds for it.

Grandview looks like it would be great for mountain biking, because it isn't too steep.
