It’s a shame this lift doesn’t operate anymore. Since the area caters mostly to beginners I imagine that the chairlifts slow and stop quite a bit. The T-Bar must’ve been a nice way to quickly lap the trails. I drive by this ski area all the time and I always wondered what the deal was with the t bar.
Back in about 1960, when this place was called Birch Hill, my mother took my sister and I up here. My mother would ride the T-bar, while my sister and I, who were rank beginners at that point, lapped a rope tow. This was pre-snowmaking, so even though snow was more common back then, operations were probably a bit spotty. Haven’t been back since then, but I have been quite amused to see the name of the place get more pretentious over the years!
