Hudson Bay Mountain Ski Area

 

 

Hudson Bay Mountain.

In 1966 they drove to the fork where the Duthie Mine road is, parked at the gravel pit, put skins on their skis and trekked almost two hours to reach the "prairie."

In those days, everyone had to hike in, and everything was brought up the slopes using manpower.

By 1969 the Smithers Ski Club had convinced the Rotary Club to donate several thousand dollars to help build a road right up to the ski area. There were other public donors, and with help from the highways department, construction began.

Cabins were being built now that access was assured, and the upper-most parking lot was created.

 

Hudson Bay Mountain Ski Area Master Plan

The Province of British Columbia has now approved the Ski Area Master Plan for Hudson Bay Mountain.

The Master Plan sets out the framework for the transformation of Hudson Bay Mountain into a spectacular multi-season, regional resort that preserves the mountain wilderness experience. Under the first phase of the Master Plan the resort will be able to add new ski lifts, add new ski runs and increase the skiable terrain on the mountain.
