Interesting Early Picture
This was the rope tow machine on Mt. Bachelor, Oregon Ski Resort in the early 1960's.

Re: Interesting Early Picture
When I was a kid there was a local ski area in my town that used a set up like that from a vintage jeep. There was someone sitting in the jeep at the top of the hill watching, who could push on the clutch if there was a pile up of kids on the rope line, or sometimes if anyone was not using the rope line "properly" an old guy would come out and yell at us.

Re: Interesting Early Picture
Right after the war almost all rope tows in the Pacific NW were powered by flathead Ford V8's. A few still had the car attached.

Re: Interesting Early Picture
Back in the late 1960's when I first went sking the rope tow used Ford V8 wire wheels as pullies. Guess there was a rear axle stub welded to a post holding it. Bob
