SKIER 72

My name is Benjamin.

I first became fascinated by lost ski areas in 2015 when my dad and I drove up to the former Wintergreen ski area in Bragg Creek, Alberta. I remember looking at the overgrown chairlift and standing by the dilapidated lift shack. I remember thinking that people - young and old - used to call these places home. Now, they lie silent and (mostly forgotten).

It is my personal passion to uncover such stories of the lost ski areas across North America. I am most interested in what was the ultimate cause of demise. Was it a long, slow drawn out death? Or was it one quick disaster?

My Lost Resort videos aim to tell the broad story of the mountain. I try to research and produce videos as fast as I can, however, full-time university studies keeps me fairly busy.

Thank you for reading all of that. I hope that you enjoy my videos.
