First skiing experience
|
"About 10-12 years old. I lived in Gilman, VT. We skied as a family before cable bindings. There was a Gilman Ski Club called 'Penguins'. They made at least one trip as a group into Tuckerman's Ravine. We used to ski with my uncle's family who lived in Littleton, NH, 1934-36 approximately."
