In 1946 a group of individuals gathered at the top of Reservoir Hill to enjoy a new sport they had learned while serving overseas during the Second World War. Each year more and more people would arrive at the site to participate in this young sport.
In 1949 the group of London skiers joined together to incorporate the London Ski Club as a not for profit organization. They surveyed the topography of the land and located a property outside of Byron near Boler Road that could be purchased, having a hill suitable to provide a variety of slopes from beginner to advanced skiers.
