Still Standing

A forestry powerhouse, Mattawa's other economic driver was a ski hill that hosted professional skiers, the likes of Kate Pace and Steve Omischl. It shut down in 2000, shaking the stability of the economy. With jobs lost and morale low, hope came at the right time. In 2014, the ski hill re-opened with a new look and name, Antoine Mountain. After only one season, this treasure has put Mattawa back on the map and gotten townsfolk exploring and rethinking the untapped potential of their town in the heart of Voyageur Country.
