Great job!
I built ski lifts for a ski lift manufacturing company for over fifteen years as a welder Fabricator we built hundreds of them many in the northeast .. thanks for sharing
Lol. I learned how to ski at Mt. Tom in MA. I then would go on to ski everything on the east coast. Killington, Okemo, Mt. Snow, etc. Then I skied out west and then all over the world.
I never got hurt over a 30 year period. One night after work a buddy asked me to go night skiing at Powder Ridge in CT. It was the only Mt where I got hurt. Sadly it is gone now, as is Mt. Tom. The days of a reasonable ticket price are over. It is outrageously expensive to ski now:(
Good job. I hope you got an A for whatever class this was made for. I do find the drama behind these resorts interesting. This helped me to understand some details.
groomers suck
My Dad was a Ski Patrol during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Many of the Patroller’s during this era were volunteer……..they were all professional skiiers, many held jobs on local Ambulance or Fire Department in the towns they lived in as well….again as volunteers. Smaller mountains had very few paid full time Ski Patrol back then, they RELIED solely on volunteers. The time came when every mountain had to hire certified EMT’s for these positions…….the liability was just to great, insurance companies required licensed people to perform these jobs. Which turned them into mostly paid positions. This changed the dynamic of the mountains…….. a job instead of a group of families volunteering…..sadly, it just changed everything. I was lucky enough to ski during these times when every mountain was a family meeting place on the weekends, all Winter every Winter……….we knew everyone, including all the employees. It was a wonderful and rare experience that not every kid got to explore. When my Dad passed away a few years ago………..nearly ALL of the living Patroller’s came to his memorial. It was incredible, all of these people were still friends after 25 years had gone by. I still recognized most of them and they recognized me !! I find it hard to believe that this documentary has so few views. Ski areas are a part of New England History, things have changed so much. Thank You for sharing your movie with us. By the way……Crotched mountain East was the playground I was referring to. Crotched West is open today, east side is a ghost town and all overgrown. I can still hear the “bark” of the high speed T bar……the air off the ledges of Blitz, and the narrows of Dipsy Doodle & Old Glory. Willet’s Run was my all time favorite, also the longest run on the mountain. Some of the names i remember Hooper, McQueeney, Seitz, ………….Butch & Maria. What a flashback to the good ole days !!!
Well done, I don’t even ski and I found this very interesting. Good Job!
