You can't ski at Ski Villa but you can buy this cool ladies tee!

Ski Villa, a unique and short-lived ski venture, emerged in the picturesque setting of Carbon Canyon, near Chino Hills, during the years 1966 to 1967. It was an ambitious project that aimed to bring winter sports enthusiasts a taste of skiing and snowboarding in a region that lacked natural snowfall.
Ski Villa was characterized by a striking 1,300-foot concrete slope adorned with approximately 1.3 million interlocking plastic tiles. These tiles were equipped with bristles to simulate the feeling of skiing on snow. The slope, although lacking the natural beauty of a snow-covered mountain, presented an intriguing and alternative skiing experience.
The ski slope was surrounded by cabins, which added to the charm of the Ski Villa complex. Visitors could rent equipment from the on-site shop and enjoy a meal at the restaurant, creating a complete recreational destination.
The grand unveiling of Ski Villa took place on June 25, 1966, attracting curious locals and adventure seekers alike. The novelty of the concept generated excitement, and for a year, Ski Villa thrived as a hub of winter sports activity in an unexpected location.

Despite its initial success, Ski Villa’s existence was fleeting. The venture’s peculiar nature and the challenges associated with maintaining an artificial ski slope eventually led to its demise. After just one year, Ski Villa closed its doors, leaving behind a peculiar concrete scar on the hillside.
