Skoki Ski Lodge in Banff National Park, opened in 1931 by a group of ski enthusiasts using timbers cut nearby, was one of the earliest backcountry lodges built for skiers in Canada’s Rocky Mountain parks. It is a fine example of the rustic log building tradition and a rare link with the early days of backcountry skiing.

Scope & context

The lodge as recognized in its designation, not skiing history as a whole.
