Once regarded as the best of Vancouver Island's ski resorts, the storied legacy of Forbidden Plateau dates all the way back to 1946. Though today, the mountain is devoid of any infrastructure, a few decades ago, it was the site of a busy ski resort. In this video, we’ll embark on a comprehensive journey, tracing the complete evolution of Forbidden Plateau, from its humble beginnings to its rise, subsequent decline, and ultimate closure.
