VAL CHATEL Ski Resort | Deep Lake Minnesota has had multiple extended lives. EPISODE 1 recalls the 1950's through the 70's as a Prime Ski Resort. It boasts the 2nd Ski lift in Minnesota (just behind Lutsen). EPISODE 4 is truly a Back to the Future anticipation of this property being renovated into DEEP LAKE PARK, Renovations are in the works for this to become a camping/fishing/hiking hotspot with future connections to the Paul Bunyan Forest & Superior Hiking Trail. EPISODE 3 is the afterlife story of the upcycled Tow Rope from VAL CHATEL to Sleen Hill, the Next Generation's retooling of the Tow Rope, Zip Line, & 2 Story "Chateau Denny". (Repurposing of the Tow Rope has brought new life to the winter doldrums of MN. EPISODE 2 is the hint of a LOST STORY of the VIKING THEATER which transformed the area ski slopes into a theatric attraction. At the center of the theater was a VIKING BOAT replica, whose after-after life from Viking theater took on a unique renovation of it's own ~ a glass bottom boat of sorts that had two cut outs allowing kids to fish from within the boat. Moving to the Boy Scout Camp (Mantrap Lake), then to Half Moon Trail Resort (Boot Lake)... the current whereabouts of the Viking Boat is unknown... . Drone Footage: Vantage Point llc.
