History

Biggers Little Inn and Ski Touring Center is only listen in the 1977 Vermont Ski Guide.  Skiing magazine, however, lists Biggers' Sports in numerous 1979 and 1980 issues in the "Skiing Marketplace" section under "Rentals" with the entry--

RESERVE RENTALS X-C, Alpine.  Group rates, personal service, retail, tune-ups, repairs.  BIGGERS' SPORTS, Route 17, Waitsfield, VT 05673.  (802) 496-3056.

--though it appears Biggers' was no longer offering trail use, etc. by this time.  The only other information on Biggers Little comes courtesy of Greg Gerdel, VT Dept. of Tourism and Marketing and Nordic ski coach, who explained: "founder of 'Biggers Little . . .' was Ron Biggers.  Ron was also a former Middlebury soccer coach and sold me my first pair of running shoes."
