Jake's Hill

Ramsay has alerted us to the existence of the first ski area at Jake's Hill in Amherst, NH. It was a brief rope tow that operated on the same hill that the Amherst Ski Club operated later. Jacobsen" to me where he was some sixty years my senior), being both friends and neighbors for many years, told me that prior to the rope tow run by the Amherst Ski Club, there was a rope tow on the hill that predated the one installed by the Amherst Ski Club. The first one was installed by a few of the local boys sometime in the 1940's (???).
