Soon after Oscar Pearson and his cousins, Anders Israel and Ole Anderson completed the lodge building at the Hollyburn Ski Camp, they began to build additional facilities for skiers and summer hikers. To accommodate the growing numbers of overnight visitors, they built several small rental cabins which were equipped with bunk beds and a stove. Three of these cabins were sited just west of the lodge. More rental cabins were located in the fringe of trees just north of First Lake. Three additional cabins were positioned prominently on the ‘Popfly’ hill and enjoyed fine views of First Lake. Two large cabins, often referred to as Cabin ‘A’ and Cabin ‘B’, were built a couple of hundred meters northwest of the lodge. These cabins were the first headquarters of the Vancouver Ski Club. Since Oscar and his cousins considered ski jumping an important facet of skiing, early on they built a ski jump on top of the ‘Popfly’ hill. By 1930, major tournaments were being held on this jump (SEE “First Lake Ski Jump #1” on the SPORTS page.) During the summer of 1930, swimmers were able to leap off a small diving tower which had been erected towards the south end of First Lake. After membership in the Vancouver Ski Club increased in the mid-1930’s, three large cabins – quarters for men and women and Visky Lodge - were built on the east side of lake across from the diving tower. (SEE “Vancouver Ski Club Cabins” on the SPORTS page.) Before the Swedes sold the Hollyburn Ski Camp to the Burfield family in 1946, they rebuilt the First Lake ski jump which had collapsed sometime during the early 1940’s. During the same period, the West Vancouver Police and the First Aid patrol were established in cabins at the southwest end of First Lake. By 1950 a Ranger Station stood a few meters north of these two cabins. After the Burfield family purchased the ski facilities around First Lake, they constructed two large dorm buildings near the south end of Hollyburn Ski Lodge. Also during this period, Norm Deacon installed a rope tow on the ‘Popfly’ hill. In 1963, Fred Burfield installed another tow - the Blueberry rope tow - in a clearing north of First Lake. The last major construction project near First lake occurred in 1963 when the ‘Y’ cabin was built on the former site of the Men’s Quarters for the Vancouver Ski Club. During the following decades, the ski facilities around First Lake began to disappear. Today, (2007), all that remains are cross-country trails, the new Nasmyth bridge, a restored rental cabin, and Hollyburn Lodge.
