Interesting facts about Mount St. Louis Moonstone
In the fall of 1963, avid skier and Austrian National Alpine competitor Josl Huter bought a property across the valley from Horseshoe Valley Resort. Recognizing the property’s potential, Huter staked out trail locations, then brought a crew of lumberjacks to cut down the trees and a bulldozing company to clear the rocks and build the trails. Mount St. Louis opened in December 1964.
The Moonstone ski resort has grown exponentially over the years. A state-of-the-art snowmaking facility, extra runs, the first triple chair lift in Canada and additional wings to the chalet were added.
