Prince George

Prince George: There is no longer any trace of the ski jump that towered over the City of Prince George in the 1930s on downtown Connaught Hill but it used to have a huge presence in the northern B.C. town. , according to CBC. At the time, Prince George was already considered the hub of Northern B.C., by virtue of the railroad and the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers, but it was small and dusty with little saw mills peppering the area around the town. To celebrate Prince George, B.C. 100th birthday, is kicking off a new year-long series called Prince George, 100 Years, 100 Stories to celebrate the city history. This is one of those stories. "Close your eyes and picture yourself back in the early 30s and that would be quite the landmark, for a small little town like this to have that huge structure on top of there," said Bruce Holst, whose father used to ski on the jump.
