Site of First Ski Tow in the United States
Woodstock, Vermont
In January, 1934, on this pasture hill of Clinton Gilbert’s farm an endless-rope tow, powered by a Model “T” Ford engine, hauled skiers uphill for the first time.
This ingenious contraption launched a new era in winter sports.
Marker is on Barnard Road (Vermont Route 12) 1 miles east of Pomfret Road, on the right when traveling west.
