Mount Seymour Resort - Mystery Peak/Lodge Chair (Unicorn)

Mount Seymour is a mountain located in Mount Seymour Provincial Park in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is a part of the North Shore Mountains, rising to the north from the shores of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm to a summit of 1,449 m (4,754 ft) above the Indian River and Deep Cove neighbourhoods. Mount Seymour is most commonly identified for its ski area of the same name, and as a popular hiking area. It is named in honour of Frederick Seymour, second governor of the Colony of British Columbia. The name is used to refer to the ridge although the main summit is one of several, and is also known as Third Peak. History In the 1920's a road was built ending in a parking lot part way up the mountain. The parking lot and a small shelter and bulletin board became the starting point for early hiking and skiing. [3] In 1936 the area was designated as a provincial park. In 1938 under the ownership of the Swedish emigrant, Harald Enqvist, a lodge was built housing a ski rental and a cafeteria. [4] In 1949 the Government of British Columbia, then a Liberal Conservative coalition under B.Johnson, extended the road to its present location and bought the ski area. The Government did not have the experience to run a ski area, so, they issued Mr. Enqvist the first Park Use Permit to operate the area. The name Enqvist was later spelled Enquist giving name to "The Enquist Lodge" and "Enquist Tube Park" among other facilities. When the permit expired in 1951, the government found a concessionaire, who was put in charge of running the lifts, ski school and cafeteria. Under government ownership the Mystery Peak double chairlift was installed in 1977. The government retained overall ownership until 1984, when Bill Bennett's Social Credit government privatized its operation. Under the contract the private resort operator owns all the equipment and facilities but pays rent for use of the park land. The contracts were for 60 (or 50) years and could be renewed after 30 years. Similar arrangements were made at the time for Ski resorts operating in Cypress Provincial Park and Manning Provincial Park.[5] The ski area has been run by the Wood family since 1984. They installed the Lodge chairlift, a short lift taking riders up to the main lodge, in 1986 and the Brockton chairlift, a lift taking riders up and beyond Mystery Peak, in the early 1990s.[6] Starting in the 2010s, the mountain has been more aggressively upgraded. The original Mystery Peak chairlift was removed in 2012 and replaced with a high-speed quad, while the Goldie rope tow was replaced with a magic carpet. Next, Mt Seymour replaced the Lodge chair with a Doppelmayr fixed grip quad with a loading conveyor belt for the 2023-2024 ski season.[7] The original Mystery Peak chairlift, early 2000s. On January 19, 2014, search and rescue leader Tim Jones died while coming down from the North Shore Rescue team cabin on Mount Seymour. Jones had saved many lives on the mountain over the years. Shortly after his death a community movement was formed to name the yet-unnamed Second Peak of Seymour after him.[8][9] The BC government officially named the place Tim Jones Peak in 2017.[10]
