A Skier’s Journey – Friends of Shames

Watch A Skier’s Journey – Friends of Shames

When Shames Mountain in Terrace, BC is about to close, the communities of British Columbia bond together to buy the ski hill and turn it into a community owned co-op.

As a place that gets up to 40 feet of snow a year, an endless backcountry, and a slower pace of life, Shames is the ideal place to call home.  Watch this video and you’ll see why Shames must live on.

Official Description from A Skier’s Journey:
If your beloved ski hill ran out of money and had no choice but to close, what would you do? With time running out for majestic Shames Mountain in Northern BC, local skiers from Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Kitimat have decided to take matters into their own hands and buy the ski hill as a community co-operative. Friends of Shames: A Skier’s Journey EP1 [Season 2] is a look into what’s at stake for the people who call Shames home, and sheds light onto a different way of owning & operating a ski hill. And of course, there are plenty of deep turns and stunning terrain along the way.
