The Year was 1934 in the heart of the depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the congress had established the Civilian Conservation Corps for boys ages 17 to 25.
In the spring, Company 927 (approximately 400 boys) arrived at Belknap Camp near McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. Most of them had never seen mountains before.
This group of city-bred youth (Chicago and St. Louis residents, mainly) with the help of Forest Service personnel and specialized craftsmen erected White Branch Lodge, built a water system, and cleared the ski run.
Alternate projects suggested for the funds were: an airport for McKenzie Bridge or a ski lodge at a higher elevation, near Alder Springs Campground where good snow conditions would prevail a greater percentage of the time. The Obsidians, a Eugene-based mountain climbing and search and rescue group, had proposed the site chosen. Their meeting place was at the J. O. Lewis cabin in the small meadow, near the lodge.
