These are photographs from the late 1940s of Little Mountain Ski Resort in Emigration Canyon outside of Salt Lake City, Utah.  Everest Raymond Watrous and a friend, Melvin Henshaw, leased the land and built the first hill with night skiing in the west.  They played polkas through a loud speaker and hauled everyone back and forth using a rope tow.  They operated the area for about two years.
