1956
Description
Taken in 1956 on Mount Seymour, Joyce Coates stands in front of the cabin she built with her husband George. A home-from-home, the cabin gave them more time to ski in winter, and a place to relax in summer — that was after they finished building it. They had spent the summer of 1956 living on the mountain during its construction.
When the snow came deep in winter, their sense of accomplishment must have been great.
