It was called Ferguson Ridge, and if you didn't know where it was - you wouldn't find it. <BR/><BR/>It had a T-bar, 700 foot of drop, a warming shack with old tables, a barrel stove, and games, and it was the locals hang out.<BR/><BR/>You could ski all day if you wanted to and never wait in line. However, ours did have ski rentals :-)Lady of the Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882650748561240033noreply@blogger.com
