Wethersfield Ski Club Tow
Rocky Hill, CT
1948-?
Thanks to D.
Raymes, we now know of this area that operated in
Rocky Hill. Here are the details:
"While hiking at the new Quarry Park in Rocky Hill, CT, I
came across a trail guide which listed a ski slope run by the
Wethersfield Ski Club. The ski tow was run by a 1936 Buick.
According to the guide: 'This ski club held its organizational meeting
December 1, 1948 and chose this slope for its skiing that winter. Sixty members attended. The property was leased for
one year at no charge.
"Rocky Hill residents, both children and adults, were invited
to join the club, which would provide an instructor. Membership dues were 2.50 for
adults, $1.00 for children, and $3.50 for families."
"On Sunday, December 5th, from 1-3 p.m., members held a
slope cleaning party." The slope was an open field at that
time - now it is grown over with trees. The remains of the
buick are still there.' Quarry park overlooks the CT river off
main street."
Does anybody else have any more
information? If so, let us know!
