Last week we shared this photo with you:

Many of you guessed correctly that this is a photo of the original chalet at Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area, circa 1960. (Photo courtesy of the archives at the Muskoka Ski Club / Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area.)

Some Doppler readers also shared a few memories with us:

Jacquie Howell: “I believe the photo this week is the first ski chalet at Hidden Valley. Jack & I skied from that Chalet in 1962 & 1964. Can’t remember when it was enlarged.”

Victoria Birchill Morgan: “Worked there many many years. Actually met my hubby there.”

Trudy Killin: “I danced there with my friends back in the day. Saw Sly and the Family Stone amongst others

Donna Jane Rowan: “Got engaged there Friday, October 13, 1972.”
