There have been many changes at Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area over the years. Before the current quad chairlifts, skiers were pulled up with the T-bar. Do you remember the gentleman lift attendant Floyd? Were you heavy enough to hold the T-bar down on your own? Share your Valley stories, if they are shareable. 🙂

Hello I hope this is the right place to make a comment about Hidden Valley back in 1967.
My aunt and uncle saw The Yardbirds featuring Jimmy Page (later of Led Zeppelin or course) along with Ottawa’s The Staccatos Yardbirds when the group played an obscure show in Hunsville, Ontario Canada at the Hidden Valley Ski Resort on Friday August 26th,1967. I have been trying to locate photos or other information about the show but beyond some press clippings etc not much has surfaced. Yet..! I treasure some verbal recollections that my aunt and uncle have about coming into Hunstville from North Bay and Toronto respectively (they may have met at the show) but if anyone has any snapshots, tickets, posters or other items to remember this night it would be very much appreciated!
This photograph can be found in the Community Digital Archives for the Huntsville Forester in the early 1980’s. According to that source, the mystery woman in the front row is Dr. Vivian Abbott.
Hidden Valley Way Back Wednesday
I had the pleasure of working with Floyd Bartlett for most of my years at Hidden Valley. Floyd worked at Hidden Valley from day one.
Floyd was a hard working man. always had a sense of humor and a team player. It was his T-Bar.
He had little education but a brilliant man in his own right. He was a “get’er done guy, always remembered.
