Rutland Recreation Ski Area
Rutland, VT
Late 1940's-1976

According to VT Tramway Reports, Rutland Recreation operated a 600' rope tow in Rutland at the Rutland Country Club on Grove Street from before 1970-1976. 

A couple NELSAP readers had some information to share with us:

B. Bender
"I have some additional information on the Rutland rope tow. It was located at the golf course on Grove Street in Rutland. It must have been open in the early sixties. I was born in 1956, and I'm sure I skied there much younger than 10, although I couldn't tell you just how young. I suspect it was open as early as 1960 as I never recollect it not being there."

Kevin Costello:
I grew up in Rutland and remember having my gloves ripped to shreds as a kid.  The rope tow was at the Rutland Country Club on the sliding hill that is still used today.  I remember it in the early 70’s.  I love your web site.

"The Rutland Recreation Tow was set at the Rutland Country Club.  I skied there as a child in the late 1940's and early 1950's"
