It's the early 1900s. The Woodstock Inn is a whirlwind of winter activity.
Guests take to the hills on sleds and ski bobs. There's sleigh riding and snowshoeing. In 1912 a ski jump is added to the 1,000-foot torch-lit toboggan run. And the town gains a reputation for riotous winter parties.
Jump to 1934. A group of Woodstock locals rig up a Model T Ford engine to power the nation's first rope tow in a pasture near Gilbert's Hill. The modern ski industry is born.
Just a hop, skip, and a jump, and it's 1936. Wallace "Bunny" Bertram opens a ski lift on Hill No. 6, soon known as "Suicide Six." In no time it becomes one of the area's leading alpine resorts.
