Loading the main T-bar, Bridgton, ca. 1955
Item 18886 info
Ski Museum of Maine
Pleasant Mountain's T-bar solidified the ski area's reputation as the most advanced in the state during the mid-1950s.
Mechanical uphill transport ended the era when skiers had to hike to the top of the mountain for each run or had to wear out their hands and arms by hanging on to fast-flying rope tows.
The T-bar opened vast new markets for skiing.
