Le Roi gold mine



The ski hill here at Rossland, Red Mountain, used to be a very profitable gold mine. It was mined for about 40 years in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Basically, the mountain is practically hollow at this point!

We went on a tour of the mine with our fantastic tour guide, Andy.

Of course Luke was in awe, as we all were.
