An early 1970s shot near the base of the T-bar. This was probably taken early in the season as snow has yet to be made on the far slope. Note the toy snow bike in the foreground. 
An early 1970s shot looking up the center slope from the lodge. 
An early 1970s shot looking down the center slope toward the lodge. 
An early 1970s shot looking down the T-bar line. 
Looking down toward the lodge from the Appellation trail. 
Looking down toward the lodge from the Big Valley trail. Note the four industrial compressors lined up in front of the maintenance building. 
An early 1970s view of snow making at the base of the center slope. Note all the snow making activity between the light poles and the chairlift. This portion of the slope was never used during the Hahn Mountain Era.

An early 1970s view of snow making at the base of the center slope. The T-bar is on the left. 
Five industrial compressors are lined up in front of the maintenance building in support of snow making operations. The ski area rented these units seasonally. 
A picture from the late 1960s or early 1970s. This picture may have been taken prior to the opening of the ski area as the T-bar appears to still be under construction. 
Another pre-opening picture featuring joy rides on the chair lift. The maintenance building is behind and to the left of the chairlift house. I have no recollection of the other buildings surrounding the maintenance building and they do not appear in later photographs. 
Return trip on the chairlift. 
A beginner ski class in front of the lodge. Ski instructors are in red. Note the yellow chairs. Everything would be painted red during the Hahn Mountain era.

Me in the mid 1970s. 
Me again in the early 1980s. The top of the T-bar is in the background. |
