Thanks to Harold Carefoot Jr. for all the information about Valley Schuss! Be sure to follow @valleyschussVS6080 on KZbin, and on Facebook ( / 1306084599900793 ) for so much more Valley Schuss history than would fit in this one episode.
Ontario has an incredible ski scene today. While there are 57 operating ski resorts in this province today (give or take a few), just a few decades ago, Ontario could have had as many as 40 additional ski areas. All these mountains are now lost to time. One such ski area is Valley Schuss - today remembered by few. However, in its heyday, it was a respectable mountain, boasting a 325-foot vertical drop serviced by 3 T-Bars. Perhaps even more inspiring is the legacy of the 2 men who built Valley Schuss. Building a ski area is no easy feat, yet these two men accomplished the impossible. This video will discuss the story of not only Valley Schuss, but Lloyd Edwards and Harold Carefoot St. - the two visionaries who constructed the 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 forgotten resorts, that were once bustling lively enterprises.
