Fortress - The Lost Resorts, Episode 25

Fortress Mountain is one of the most unique lost ski resorts in North America. This incredible mountain hosts an amazing history, dating back to the 1960s. Once a popular area for skiers and snowboarders alike, Fortress has been seemingly forgotten in time, lost in its own past. Today, we’ll embark on a comprehensive journey through the rich history of Fortress, from its early days to its rise, downfall, closure and re-opening attempts.
