A Mountain Love Affair The Story Of Mad River Glen Mary K Kerr 1st Edition 2008

Description: Mountain Love Affair - The Story of Mad River Glen by Mary K Kerr 2008 - First Edition Hardcover book with Dust jacket Mad River Glen: to tell the remarkable story of this on-of-king ski area is to reflet on a sixty year love affair between a particular Vermont mountain and the particular skiers who maintain founder Roland Palmedos vision by continuing to offer a challenging mountain skiing experienc for recreation rather than profit. This is a story of dedicated men and women, who, against all odds, are preserving Stark Mountain for future generations. Nothing exemplifies this dedication more than the decision in 2007 by MRF's twelve-year-old cooperative to renovate North America's remaining Single Chairlift at a higher cost than replacing this historic relic/artifact with a higher capacity modern chair. Skiers continue to enjoy their sport as the founders of Vermont's Skiers Mountain optimistically envisioned sixty years ago as they challenge the steep, gnarly, twisting, terrain-true trails, hand cut decades earlier by farmers turned mountain men. Maid River Glen's visionaries have proven that man and mountain can coexist without destroying the integrity of either. To founder Roland Palmedo's mind, man came to mountain to get away from rather than replicate the frenetic activities of cities and towns. His legacy continues today at the Skiers Mountain.
