London, Ontario, is not in a mountainous part of Canada. In fact, southwestern Ontario is pretty flat. Our original ski hill was had but a 100-feet of height but it was still a lot of fun.
Boler Mountain is run as a non-profit enterprise but it is run exceedingly well. It was started by a group of truly fine, imaginative London area folk who wanted nothing less than bringing the best alpine skiing experience.Today, the highest hill is 125-feet and served by a four-passenger, high-speed chairlift. It may not take all that long to ski down but it doesn't take all that long to get back up either.
Tonight, new year's eve, Boler Mountain held its annual new year's eve fireworks show at 9 p.m. for the benefit of the kids. I took two of my granddaughters. They love it.
In two weeks both girls will be starting their skiing lessons at Boler. Because of this, the oldest girl suggested that next year, she and her sister could ski during the day and early evening and then stay to watch the fireworks.
Boler knows how to bait the hook for kids.
