| The Kelowna Ski Club (KSC) started up sometime in the mid-50’s. One of the founders, Doug Herbert, now resides on Saucier Road. The club was a social club for Kelowna residents who enjoyed the sport of alpine skiing. The clubs’ original location was on the Black Knight Mountain Ski Hill, now known as Black Mountain, and had two rope tows and a ski jump.
When developers Doug Mervyn and Cliff Serwa opened up the Big White Ski area, the KSC was given a parcel of land which was located in the area of the Grey Stokes condominiums in return for the closing of the Black Mountain Area and moving to the Big White ski hill. One of the Black Mountain rope tows was moved to Big White.
