A little "modernization" History - 50 years ago today - thanks Rod

When Baldy first opened, there was no electricity. The lodge and lifts ran on diesel. We had coal oil , and Aladdin lamps in the cabin, and I remember the quiet when the diesel generator powering the lodge shut down for the night.

Rod recalls that it was 50 years ago tonight when the drive for the Baldy T bar was switched over from diesel to  electric drive. 

Tomorrow marks 50 years from the first Christmas Dinner Marge MacLeod cooked in the New Cabin - no power, no water.
