The Story
For fifty-six winters, Tincup Mountain was where Harlow went when it snowed. A rope tow rigged by the ski club became a lodge, a T-bar, three chairlifts and night skiing, and then, on March 27, 1994, a last chair. These pages follow the hill decade by decade, through the posters, tickets and menus people saved.
