This is how you change the world. Not via govts or corporations...but by individuals and groups of like minded people coming together to help the wilderness, enhance the local area, getting people outside and making lives better. Save the mountain....Save the world....Jolly well done to all concerned ☺
This is a fantastic story, and thanks to LL Bean for sharing it. Its these small ski areas that serve as the top of the funnel for the industry. Its here that real people step into the sport and culture.
Love this story even though I live in South Carolina. I have in my 78 years lived in western New York so I know a little bit about those winters y'all have. If I was there and able I'd be right in the middle of taking care of Whaleback. What a wonderful legacy for the kids!!
If it weren’t for this little mountain and school ski trips/club organized by my 8th grade English teacher (thank you Ms Robinson!) I probably wouldn’t be a skier today. I first started skiing there almost 34 years ago, have skied ever since and have shared my addiction, I mean passion with my own children. I am happy to know that Whaleback is still there and providing the joy of skiing to the local community in the Upper Valley!
never really skied as I played hockey at KUA, but understood how important the mountain was to all the local skiers - what a great story of sweat and equity - TEAM WORK
I'm from Enfield and never learned to ski until I was 17 years old..it was here at Whaleback in 1993 during night skiing on rental skis. It is special to me! This is awesome!⛷
there was a place in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania called Chadds Peak, aka Chadds Pimple. 2 hills, small hills. A tow rope and a T bar. in the 70s and 80s there was more snow in Southeastern PA. It was wonderful to be outside on the ice in the snow in the cold fresh air! Chadds Peak near the Brandywine River Museum was a tiny place but amazing fun! I grew ice skating on Brinton lake across the road from our house, and 2 ponds 1/4 mile away. LL Bean was a big part of the winter, providing boots warm jackets and gear growing up. Thank you LL Bean. Before the interweb, LL Bean was always there 24 / 7 to help you on the phone! Getting the winter Christmas catalog was a highlight of the holiday season!
