From the Skier's Guide to New England, this small rope tow area was found. There were several trails on this mountain, but only one, the Winged Drop trail, was accessible by rope tow. This tow served a 200 foot vertical drop.
In 1949 a rope tow served an open slope in Casco, probably Mt. Quito.
Anybody remember this area?
