You might think of Palm Springs as a wealthy town filled with luxury hotels and swimming pools. But it's also a place shaped by brutal racism. People who lived in Section 13, a once a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood, were pushed off their land. Their homes were bulldozed and burned down. Now, The California Report's Madi Bolanos. talked to some of the former residents who are now fighting for reparations. And we continue our Hidden Gems series with a visit to Mineral King. It's located in the southern part of Sequoia National Park. Mineral King's remote location means it gets fewer visitors than other parts of the park. But the campers and backpackers that make the trek are rewarded with a spectacular mountain range with rushing waterfalls. There are only a handful of buildings here, including some historic wooden cabins that belong to a few families who've been here long before this was a national park. One of those cabins belongs to Laile Di Silvestro's family. Her connection to Mineral King goes back to the 1870s. Today, she's an archeologist, and she's looking for the stories she didn't hear growing up. The California Report Magazine host Sasha Khokha hiked Mineral King with Di Silvestro to learn about some surprising trail blazers in the California gold rush. And the discrimination some people faced during those boom times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the mid-1960s Walt Disney was very busy.  He was not only scooping up land for his Florida Project, and his hopes for an experimental, prototype community of tomorrow.  Walt also had plans for a ski resort in the mountains of California.  Why didn't it work?  The authors of the book "Disneyland on the Mountain: Walk, the Environmentalists, and the Sky Resort That Never Was" will be on the show today to answer that question.

Many are familiar with Disney's theme parks, cruise ships, resorts, and broader media empire, but did you know Disney tried to build a ski resort in Mineral King, California in the 1960s? Courtney and Emily are joined by authors Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer to discuss how this resort never broke ground despite over a decade of planning. Their book, “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort that Never Was”, does a deep dive into this niche piece of Disney history that is often overshadowed by the simultaneous planning and opening of the Walt Disney World Resort. However, despite Mineral King's unbuilt legacy, its roots can still be found in the theme parks and resorts around the world.  Follow Our Reading Journey On Social Media!

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with the co-author of “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was”, Kathryn Mayer. Kathryn's book shares a lot of information about Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort. Mineral King Ski Resort was a dream project of Walt Disney's taking place between the creations of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Walt wanted to reinvent the way the public enjoyed a ski resort. Like so many other dreams of Walt's, his visions were ahead of his time. This project never came to be due to many battles between The Walt Disney Company and environmentalists. But quite a few of the ideas, concepts and projects related to the ski resort ended up in other Disney projects. That and so much more in this episode. ------ GIVEAWAYS, BONUSES, SUPPORT, AND SAVE: Gain early access to episodes, take part in Ask Me Anything live streams, and gain more bonuses by joining the DCTC Patreon.

Have you been to Disneyland? Well, if you ever have there's a great chance that you've seen the Country Bear Jamboree, one of the last attractions that Walt Disney personally helped to build. They've been featured at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida since 1971 and have been a favorite of fans of Disney for years, though they were originally planned for a park that was never built, a ski resort in Mineral King, California.  Bad news though, it's going away.

The Progress City Radio Hour returns to the slopes for more snowbound adventure! We have a wintry mix of tales including a trip to Switzerland with Walt to film on the slopes of the Matterhorn, a look at Disney's involvement in the 1960 Winter Olympics, and a conversation with Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer about their book, Disneyland On The Mountain, about the never-built resort at Mineral King. History, music, and more - fire up the fondue and grab that tow rope, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!

When you think about projects from Disney history that never happened, Mineral King is one of the most interesting examples. The concepts for this California ski resort were a serious dream for Walt Disney in the 1960s. Those plans ultimately led to a conflict with environmentalists in the Sierra Club who had concerns with developing the pristine land.… Read more... The post 216.

It was going to be Disneyland at the top of a mountain. A vacation destination where guests could ski, go ice skating, or be entertained by a Disney Imagineer-created band of Audio-Animatronic bears. In the summer, visitors could fish, camp, hike, or take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of a mountain. It was the Mineral King resort in Southern California, and it was Walt Disney's final passion project. But there was one major obstacle to Walt's dream: the growing environmentalist movement of the 1960s. Tune in as we talk with Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer about their new book, Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, where they will provide an unprecedented look inside the Mineral King saga, from its origins at the 1960 Winter Olympics to the years-long environmental fight that eventually shut the development down. The fight, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, reshaped the environmental movement and helped to put in place long-reaching laws to protect nature. Although the court battle, coupled with Walt's death in 1966, meant the end for the Mineral King resort, the ideas and planning behind it have permeated throughout the Walt Disney company and the ski tourism industry in ways that are still seen today.

Matt Crawford speaks with authors Greg Glasgow and Kathyrn Mayer about their book: Disneyland on The Mountain: Walt, The Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was. We all know the name Disney as a behemoth of a company and landowner, but in the 1960's this was far from being a given. How Walt Disney's desire to turn Mineral King in southern California into a skiing mecca, spurred an environmental momevent is truly fascinating. The outcome of this story has implications in how we protect our nations land today and the way in which Disney builds implements lessons learned from this fight to this day.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.  This week in Disney News, people are doing a happy dance now that Disney's announcement that parking trams are coming back to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World.   And also, Amy Pascal, the producer of Spider-Man, said they're actually working on another Spider-Man trilogy with Tom Holland. Yay!!!   Whoosh! That's the kind of noise you'd expect to hear as Walt Disney flew past you on the slopes, and the sound you might expect to have heard at Disney's Ski Resort.   Yes, you read that right, Disney almost built a ski resort in California. We discuss the plans to create a whole town that included a hotel, movie theater, ice rinks, golf course, dining, lifts, and eventually what put the kibosh on those plans.   It's pretty impressive that the matter of the Mineral King resort actually went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States...hint, that's not actually what stopped the plans though!    Thank you so much for listening!  Have a magical week!   Check us out on Facebook and Youtube or submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode or support us on Patreon.

What does Mineral King, X Atencio, Winnie the Pooh, Marc Davis, and a Vacation Hoedown all have in common? None other than the Country Bear Jamboree… Well, The story goes something like this… In 1965, with Disneyland celebrating its 10th anniversary, the 1964-65 New York world’s fair a success – creating 4 attractions that would soon be relocated to Disneyland – and the land acquisition for the Florida Project secretly underway you would think Walt had his hands full, right? Wrong. When the Sequoia National Forest invited proposals for a ski resort in California’s Mineral King Valley, Walt Disney Productions including Walt Disney himself envisioned an “American Alpine Wonderland”. A Ski-Resort that would include a five-story hotel with over a thousand rooms, a movie theater, general store, pools, ice rinks, tennis courts, and golf courses not to mention the actual ski complex which would include 22 lifts and gondolas with ski runs four miles long. The complex would also feature 10 restaurants.

Join us for our inaugural Progress City Town Hall, part one of our interview with long-time Disney executive Frank Stanek. In Frank's 25 years at Disney he went from part-time pancake flipper at Disneyland to corporate vice-president of research and planning, and along the way influenced such projects as the 1964/65 New York World's Fair, Mineral King, Walt Disney World, and Epcot. He also led the development of the Tokyo Disneyland project. Later he joined Universal as their president of international business development, and he was the 2013 recipient of the THEA Buzz Price Award – Recognizing a Lifetime of Distinguished Achievements. Tales from a legendary career - it's the Progress City Radio Hour!

The Progress City Radio Hour concocts a wintry mix to bring you Christmas in August! We have an avalanche of snowy fun with a look at Walt's history with skiing, a musical trip down an Arctic river with Marc Davis's unbuilt Enchanted Snow Palace, a journey through Epcot's proposed Switzerland pavilion, a Disney figure skating fantasy from 1992, and a tidbit about Mineral King from longtime Disney executive Frank Stanek. History, music, and more - turn down the air conditioning and stoke the fire, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!

For those that love studying the history of the Disney parks, every once in a while a unique concept is stumbled upon. Something that is a little different from the castle parks and Vacation Club resorts. Every once in a while information comes out about one of Walt’s regional experiments, be it the famous Mineral King project in California or Riverfront Square in St Louis. Often these are seen as the Disneylands that never were, but there was one project that did come to life, and actually operated all the way up into the 1990’s. Located in my adopted hometown, Denver, CO, the Celebrity Sports Center is a not-as-well known hospitality oasis founded by Walt Disney himself. Celebrity Lanes, as it was first known, opened in 1960, and was given its unique moniker due to the initial band of investors Walt lined up to open the complex. Joining Walt in this endeavor were his brother Roy, Jack Benny, George Burns, Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Art Linkletter, as well as Charles Laughton, John Payne, Spike Jones, and Jim and Marion Jordan. Technically located within Glendale, Colorado, the location was chosen due to the large population growth the area was experiencing. Denver was already known for its outdoor adventures, but needed indoor recreation for the cold winter months. To fill this need, the Center was home to 80 lanes of bowling, three arcades eventually featuring more than 300 video games spread between them, a full service restaurant, Hofbrau, Coffee and Soda Shops, and even a Shooting Gallery. A year later, an olympic-sized pool was added to the attraction lineup. Reminding Guests of the Disney connection, it wasn’t uncommon to see Goofy water skiing on the 500,000 gallon pool. Outside the watery confines, the big cheese himself, Mickey Mouse would also make appearances. Walt, ever the perfectionist, even assigned an art director from Disneyland to the center to oversee new additions. The Center would be expanded throughout its history, adding waterslides and dining options. However, it was not always successful. Within a few years of opening, management issues would scare away many of the celebrity investors that had been so critical to the opening of the complex. Beginning in October 1961, Walt Disney Productions began to buy out the other partners, and by 1962 was the sole owner of the property. It was at this time, the complex took on the name Celebrity Sports Center. For Walt, this was not just a mere entertainment enterprise. This was a chance to address societal needs. Children and Teens, no longer part of the workforce to the degree they had previously were, needed something to do, amusement to keep them out of trouble. This center provided that, at a reasonable cost. But the biggest advantage this place had was the ability to train future managers for the upcoming “Disneyland East” project Walt was dreaming up for Central Florida. Employees at the Center were held to the same high standards Walt expected from his Disneyland Cast Members, and as Disneyland employees, they also received the benefits of working in the kingdom. Really, the center was a small Disneyland in the Rocky Mountains. But, like all good things, this too came to an end. After Walt’s death in 1966, Walt Disney Productions continued to operate the Center to train management for their Florida operations. In 1979, amidst the planning and construction of larger projects in Orlando and Japan, WDP sold the property to a group of buyers. The new owners continued to expand the complex throughout the 1980’s and its popularity soared. However, the success was not to be long lived. By the late 80’s the center began to attract more troublesome visitors, and attendance began to decline. With this decline came an equal decline in revenue, and in 1994, it was announced the Celebrity Sports Center would be closed forever, its land sold for retail development.

WDW Radio # 558 - Unbuilt Disney Parks Did you know that in addition to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, there were plans… and lot of them… to build additional parks in the United States? From St. Louis to Mineral King, from the East Coast to the shores of California, there were a number of ideas that were very close to being built. This week, we’ll look at some of the many unbuilt and lost DIsney Parks concepts… including a few you may have never heard of… or realized just how close they were to becoming a reality, including Mineral King, St. Louis Riverfront Square, Texposition, Disney's America, Port Disney, WESTCot, Disney in New York, Disney Wharf, the S.S. Disney and more! We’ll look at where they were going and why, the reasons why they never came to be, and where some of those ideas eventually ended up.

Falamos dos projetos dos parques Westcot, Disney's America, Port Disney, Riverfront Square e Mineral King, todos projetos muito ambiciosos da Disney ao longo dos anos que quase aconteceram mas foram cancelados. E tem muito mais, ouça e confira!

Now that it is December, it is officially skiing season! So today, Austin will be describing the disastrous 1960s 'lost resort' called Disney’s Mineral King Ski Village. Disney’s rarely-remembered and disatorious foray into creating a skiing destination within California's Sequoia National Park. Originally envisioned as a five-story resort with over a thousand rooms, surrounded by a movie theater, general store, pools, ice rinks, tennis courts, a golf course, and 22 lifts to the slopes, we’ll take a gander at what would have been a Disney vacation like no other - if it ever came to fruition.

This week we head out west to Californy (the kinfolk said we should) to create attractions deserving of the Golden State. Of course, Scottye immediately goes to a dispensary and comes out with High 'N' Dry, a log flume that gives riders the feeling of being on that wacky tabacky. Sometimes, things go bad. Meanwhile, Jim has gotten lost in the mountains as he invites you to board Sequoia Slalom, a wild mouse-style coaster through (and through) a cache of redwoods as though you are snowboarding the peaks of Mineral King. We also discuss Scottye's upcoming central Florida trip as he gives shares some great news for just about everything but the trip itself.

Recorded 8/8/18 Remember the Magic - The Country Bear Jamboree History December 1965, Walt Disney was pressing forward with Mineral King, a ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains As part of the evening entertainment, an animatronic show was being developed The project was assigned to Marc Davis One day Davis was working on drawings of the characters in his office. Walt Disney walked in and saw the drawings and laughed because he loved the characters. On Disney's way out he turned to Marc Davis and said good-bye, which he was known never to say. That was the last time Davis saw Disney, who died a few days later. With ski resort progress slow, the show was refined and designed to be a unique attraction at the then still being planned Walt Disney World Resort Frontierland would receive a much needed marquee attraction A 15 minute dance hall style show was designed Imagineer X Atencio (Yo-Ho & Grim Grinning Ghosts) and musical director George Bruns created songs for the bears to sing 24 animatronic figures were built, plus another three for outside the theater The show opened on October 1, 1971 and was a huge draw in an otherwise sparsely populated corner of the park Shootin’ Arcade, Tom Sawyer Island, WDW Railroad Shares a building with the Enchanted Tiki Room Theater exits into the “Mile Long Bar’ instead of a gift shop, where three stars from the show would hold their own mini show Pepsi and Frito Lay were the original sponsors from 1971 - 1981 (Pepsi was available at Pecos Bill’s until 1990) It closed in August 2012 for a refurb; when it reopened in October 2012, it was shortened by 4 1/2 minutes. Introduction was shortened, and some dialogue throughout the show was cut, along with two songs: "Pretty Little Devilish Mary" and "Fractured Folk Song" In the MLB, Max, Melvin, and Buff animatronics were hanging and would talk and sing to the guests as they left the theater From May 1986 through February 1992, the show was replaced by the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown November 1984, the Country Bear Christmas Special was introduced for the holiday season and ran every year through 2005 Took 4-6 days to install and remove Was the first attraction to change for the holidays There was a CBJ in Disneyland From 1972-2001 (replaced by The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) It was the first WDW attraction to be replicated at Disneyland Because of the popularity of the show in Florida, two theaters were built at Disneyland From 1986-2001, it was the CBVH Tokyo Disneyland’s opened with the park and still operates. It’s the same as WDW’s version, except the animatronics are more modern and look more real, and like at Disneyland, was built with two theaters Tokyo still has all three versions of the show at different times of the year Attraction Bears (18): Henry, Liver Lips McGrowl, Wendell, Teddi Berra, Ernest, Terrence, Trixie, Big Al, Sun Bonnet Trio (Bunny, Bubbles, Beulah), Gomer, The Five Bear Rugs (Zeke, Zeb, Ted, Fred, Tennessee), Baby Oscar Show The show is basically a continuous string of short country songs sung by the various bears. As each bear sings their song, a curtain opens to reveal them, except in the case of Wendell, Gomer, and the Sun Bonnet Trio (all of whom rise from the center stage), and Teddi Barra (who descends from the ceiling). The show begins with Max, Buff, and Melvin telling Henry to get on with the show. Henry then asks Gomer to give him a "little intro", and the jamboree begins. Songs Current Disney World version: "Pianjo" (Don Robertson) – Gomer and Henry "Bear Band Serenade" (Lyrics: Xavier Atencio, Music: George Bruns) – The Five Bear Rugs, Gomer, and Henry "If You Can't Bite, Don't Growl" (Tommy Collins) – Ernest and the Five Bear Rugs "My Woman Ain't Pretty (But She Don't Swear None)" (Frankie Starr & Paul E. Miller) – Liver Lips McGrowl "Mama, Don't Whip Little Buford" (Burns & Haynes) – Henry and Wendell "Tears Will Be the Chaser For Your Wine" (Dale Davis & Leroy Goates) – Trixie "How Long Will My Baby Be Gone" (Buck Owens) – Terrence "All the Guys That Turn Me On Turn Me Down" (Plott & Powell) – The Sun Bonnet Trio "Heart, We Did All That We Could" (Ned Miller) – Teddi Barra "Blood on the Saddle" (Everett Cheetham) – Big Al "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (Tom Blackburn and George Bruns) – Henry and Sammy "Ole Slew Foot" (Howard Hausey) – Cast (minus Ernest and Trixie, who do not appear onstage, and Big Al, who reprises "Blood on the Saddle") "Come Again" (Tom Adair & George Bruns) – Henry, Sammy, Max, Buff, and Melvin Country Bear Vacation Hoedown Show This special variation of the classic show features the Country Bears celebrating the many joys of summer and the great outdoors. Its opening is different from the other shows because Max, Buff, and Melvin do not talk at the beginning Instead, the five Bear Rugs can be heard tuning up their instruments. Zeke calls for Rufus to turn on the lights, and then the show begins with "The Great Outdoors". In the Japanese version however, instead of hearing the five Bear Rugs tune up, Max, Buff & Melvin continue the trend of having the first bit of dialogue (although it's in Japanese) Songs "The Great Outdoors" - The 5 Bear Rugs and Henry "Life's No Picnic Without You" - Trixie "On the Road Again" - Wendell "We Can Make It To the Top" - Liver Lips McGrowl "California Bears" - The Sun Bonnets, Gomer, Max, Buff, and Melvin "Two Different Worlds" - Terrence the Shaker (with Dolores the octopus) "Rocky Top" - The 5 Bear Rugs "Nature" - Ernest the Dude "Singin' In the Rain" - Teddi Barra and Henry "Ghost Riders In the Sky" - The 5 Bear Rugs "On My Way To Your Heart" - Big Al "Thank God I'm a Country Bear" - Cast Christmas Show: Show The show includes many different traditional Christmas carols, more modern songs, along with some original Christmas "bear-ols" all sung by the bears in a country twang. The show begins as always with Melvin, Buff, and Max. As the three argued over who gets to sing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", Henry appears onstage and starts the show. Songs "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Melvin "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" - Henry and Gomer "Tracks in the Snow" - The 5 Bear Rugs and Henry "12 Days of Christmas (Oh What a Christmas)" - Wendell "The Hibernating Blues" - Trixie "Deck the Halls" - The 5 Bear Rugs "Rock and Roll Santa" - Liver Lips McGrowl and Gomer "Blue Christmas" - Terrence (with his penguin) "Sleigh Ride" - The Sun Bonnets, Melvin, Buff, and Max "Hungry as a Bear" - Ernest and The 5 Bear Rugs "The Christmas Song" - Henry and Teddi Barra "Another New Year" - Big Al "Let It Snow/Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer/Winter Wonderland" - Cast

In our last episode we took you to this mountain oasis called Mineral King in Sequoia National Park. This time, we go 100 miles north of there to a place called Mono Hot Springs. Mono (pronounced “MOE-no”) Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sierra Nevada south of Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lakes, and it’s about halfway from the Valley to the East Side. The hot springs sit in a mountain valley next to a fork in the San Joaquin River. Like Mineral King , the springs are at the end of a long, winding road. To get there from Fresno, you drive up Highway 168 East past places like Shaver Lake and China Peak Ski Resort. Before reaching Huntington Lake, turn onto Kaiser Pass Road, which quickly becomes only one lane. At some points it’s worse than the drive to Mineral King. It’s narrow and bumpy and at a few points, the side of the road drops off literally over a cliff. We don’t recommend driving it at night. As you climb Kaiser Pass, the highest point of the drive, you briefly venture

Yay! You made it to Outdoorsy. This is Valley Public Radio’s new podcast, in which we explore wild places in California and interview the people who enjoy them. We – reporters Ezra David Romero and Kerry Klein – are excited to share some of our favorite places and outdoor activities. We both consider ourselves pretty “Outdoorsy,” though we're coming at this from two different backgrounds. Ezra’s explored the Sierra Nevada his whole life. He grew up near Fresno and his love for the outdoors started on childhood camping trips with his dad and brothers. Since then he’s camped, hiked, kayaked, and done a few survival training camps and nature scavenger hunts. Kerry’s a backpacker and camper, too, plus she's into rock climbing and bicycling. She’s new to this area, having grown up exploring the Berkshires and White Mountains in New England. The Sierra Nevada is totally different – in a great way – and Kerry’s been looking for places to go. Despite our separate experiences with the Sierra
