The old church became the parish hall. A small amount of logging continued as an element of land clearing. Skiing on Hollyburn Mountain was started by three Scandinavian who used the deserted logging bunkhouses as their cabins. The area around the cabins had been previously logged and provided open areas for cross-country skiing. By the Fall of 1926 they had moved up the hill to ski camps at First Lake. A ski jump was also built on the east side of First Lake.
