that streches from Osler Bluff, which overlooks Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, to Georgian Peaks where the escarpment is interrupted by the Beaver Valley. The resort used the Blue Mountain moniker in May 1941 when it was established as Blue Mountain Resorts Limited, although it only occupies parts of the wider Blue Mountains geological range. The earliest recorded instance of "Blue Mountains" moniker in reference to the area's hills and valleys was in 1819, in

country. In the 17th century, Jesuit missionaries also referred to the "Blue Hills" as the "Mountains of St-Jean." However, it is not definitively confirmed that these earlier names specifically refer to the Blue Mountains. Some suggest that the description of the Blue Hills, a hilly area with a village by a lake, could also apply to other Petun settlements in the region.


History


Background

The area's development as a ski destination began in 1924 with the formation of the Toronto Ski Club. Progress accelerated in 1935 when the Blue Mountain Ski Club, later renamed the Collingwood Ski Club, opened in the area and the first ski trails were developed on the escarpment, Granny, Schuss, and Kandahar, were cut into the

Herman Smith-Johannsen Herman "Jackrabbit" Smith-Johannsen, Gordon Peter Campbell, a Toronto-based ski instructor, lawyer and Canadian senator to purchase of land from the Toronto Ski Club and Blue Mountain Ski Club, and formed Blue Mountain Resorts Limited. Campbell served as the resort's financier and business advisor, while Jozo Weider held a 25 per cent stake in the resort and was employed as its sports and ski director. The first ski season began later in 1941, with most visitors arriving by a
