Snowshoe celebrated its history last Friday by putting up a six-pack of archival photos– a “Friday Flashback“– on its Facebook page. Seemingly, the most popular picture (based on the initial wave of comments) was this shot of the “Old Man of the Mountain,” the fabulously human-looking chunk of granite that once graced the Ballhooter liftline. Alas, the late 1990s Intrawest-funded rebuild of that chair into a high-speed quad seems to have necessitated the removal of the top of the figure’s head.
