Scenes from the Lac Le Jeune Ski Hill

This video from Solomon Freeski TV is about designing winter playgrounds. The video reviews the changing face of ski areas through the eyes of one of the world's leading ski resort designers.

Beginning at approximately 1:00 you'll see some shots of the old Lac Le Jeune ski hill, in the context of the decline of mom and pop operations.
"They weren't thinking big, they weren't thinking globally. They were just thinking about their small piece of land at that time and 'what could we do to make some money'? You have to run a lot of business through these small mom and pop operations in order to just turn the lights on."


Thanks to Mike Lorimer for sending this along.
