Looking down from the top of Punkatasset.
Punkatasset Hill was a very interesting area. Who would have thought that Concord, MA was the site of a former ski area? There were never any lifts, but skiers would hike up this slope and ski down. A major jump was located to the left of the picture above. Apparently, jumping contests were held during the 1930's.
Here's some more info
from Jed Diehl:
"Punkatasset Hill
in Concord, MA (on conservation land off Monument St.) has a ski slope
that is still cleared. It is short and steep, and I believe is still occasionally
skied. I don't think it ever had a lift. I have a friend how says
she has a home movie "of the Norwegian National Team skiing on Punkataset
Hill in ~1927."
The actual ski slope has remained in fairly decent shape considering it is 60 years old. The hill is much steeper than is shown in either of these pictures.
