In the early morning hours of December 8, 1995, Mt. Norquay's 5-year-old ski lodge was completely destroyed by a blaze. It likely started with a boiler unit sparking. Crews from Banff worked through temperatures of -25C to tackle the blaze. They were able to save the rental shop and ski patrol buildings.

This blaze came as the final gut punch for Mt. Norquay, which was already on the brink of closure.
