I do hope that you’re able to find some pictures and information about Bear Hills. I learned to ski there as a kid in the mid 1960′s
There was one rope tow for skiing, and one for the toboggan hill.
I’d like to help with the history of Bear Hills and if you’re interested, I’ll try and recall what I can.
(Wood skis, cable bindings, laced leather boots, the good old days!
