A Mountain of Change Book- 2nd Edition on Sale in time for the Holiday Season!
Attention all Smithers Ski and Snowboard Club members!
Did you know that there is a book about our ski hill? Did you know that since December 2020, almost 600 copies have been sold, with ALL profits going to the Smithers Ski and Snowboard Club?
This 220 page book covers the growth of the ski hill from 1960-2020 and was written by 4 women, who, along with a technical specialist, have over 170 accumulated years of skiing on Hudson Bay Mountain. This book is full of stunning colourful photos of not only the landscape, but of events and people who have made this mountain what it is today.
Wouldn’t it make the perfect gift and at the same time support your local ski club?
A Mountain of Change is available at the Hudson Bay Mountain Resort office on Main Street and from the authors. It’s available in two formats, coil bound for $35 and ‘perfect’ bound for $45.
