History

Additional land at Mount Spokane was obtained due to the lead efforts of Cheney Cowles (1908–1943), whose father ran the Cowles Publishing Company.[1] Cowles was the managing editor of the Spokane Daily Chronicle and was an original member of the Spokane Ski Club; he was killed in military plane crash in Alabama during {{nowrap|World War II.[2][3]}}

The Vista House at the summit was constructed in 1933,[4][5] and built by local Washington contractor E.O. Fieldstad[6] – the first of five fire lookouts on the mountain, some of which were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps {{nowrap|(CCC).[7]}} Mount Spokane hosted the Northwest ski championships in {{nowrap|February 1937.[8][9][10][11]}} Future Olympic gold medalist Gretchen Fraser (née Kunigk), then 18, won the {{nowrap|women's slalom.[12]}}

The ski area was originally on the west side of the mountain with rope tows and operated the world's first double chairlift {{nowrap|in 1947,[13]}} converted from a mine tramway from {{nowrap|Wallace, Idaho,[14]}} with a lodge built by the CCC the late {{nowrap|1930s.[15][16][17][18]}} {{nowrap|A one-fatality}} fire in the nearly-completed lodge addition in {{nowrap|January 1952[19]}} began the move to the east {{nowrap|slopes.[20][21]}} {{nowrap|A new}} day lodge (#1) was built by the state[22] on the east side and a Riblet double chair was installed in the summer {{nowrap|of 1956.[23][24]}} {{nowrap|A second was}} added five years {{nowrap|later,[25][26]}} and a third {{nowrap|in 1970.[27][28]}} The fourth chair was added a few years later and the fifth {{nowrap|in 1977.[29][30]}} Night skiing on Mount Spokane began {{Years or months ago|1967|12}} in {{nowrap|December 1967.[31]}}

The majority owner of the Mount Spokane Chairlift, Inc. was founder Al E. Mettler {{nowrap|(1902–1985),[32]}} who sold his interest in 1970 to {{nowrap|Rock E. Caley.[33]}} Six years later, Caley filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy[34] and the ski area assets were sold to a creditor, Riblet Tramway Company of Spokane.[35][36][37] Mettler returned in March 1976, as interim general manager for a few months,[38] relieved by Keith Petrie, previously at Anthony Lakes in eastern Oregon.[37] Sam Wormington took over in 1977, moving southwest to Spokane from nearby {{nowrap|Schweitzer Mountain}} in {{nowrap|Sandpoint, Idaho.[39]}}
