[edit] History
It was opened in 1961 by members of the Eskimo Ski Club. The lodge was built in 1972. The first T-bar was put in place in 1981, replacing the old handle tows.[3] The chairlift was installed in 1988, when the resort saw an expansion, complete with new snow-making equipment.
A new 17,800 square foot lodge was constructed in 2001, replacing the old lodge and maintenance buildings.
In 2008 Snow Valley will open a first of it's kind 'pulse' quad chair. This chair will replace the existing t-bar and open up more skiiable terrain.
