History
Silver Summit sat in Yellowhead County in west-central Alberta, near Edson on the road towards Jasper. It opened on 4 January 1969 with what became three chairlifts serving seventeen runs on about 1,000 ft of vertical - a substantial local area for a part of Alberta a long way from the Rockies resorts. It ran for 49 seasons and then shut suddenly in 2018. The reason is not recorded in accessible sources, nor are the individual lifts, their manufacturers or the run names, and those fields are left empty here rather than guessed.
