Not in Alberta but something that meant a great deal to me...

I moved to Calgary from Montreal in 1996 when I was 16. For as long as I can remember we used to spend either Christmas or New Years at a ski resort close to Mt Tremblant called Grey Rocks. It was established in 1905 by George Wheeler whose granddaughter Lucille was the first North American to win an Olympic downhill medal in 1956. The Snow Eagle Ski School was one of the best in North America.

The resort was privately owned and was losing money for years but the owner offsetting loses with investments returns handled by....... Bernie Madoff. When S hit the fan Grey Rocks closed in 2009.

It once looked like the Laurentian's version of the Overlook Hotel. Always fun exploring the old rooms and passageways.

1938

And now, seriously creepy.
