1) In olden times, we had many more T-Bars. Exercise in both directions kept you warm.
2. I remember skiing as a teenager at Gunstock on the 1964 Chair which was mostly close to the ground, so no wind shut downs. Very cold and windy and we were told a -55F wind chill. Best part: no lift lines that day.
3. Anybody else remember buying a book of lift tickets (1 for T, 2 for Try-Me and 3 for the summit IIRC)? You could take a run or two and if you weren't happy, save the rest of the book for another day.
