Black Panther was a fairly major ski area for so early in Massachusetts. It had a 450 foot vertical drop and the longest tow in the state at 1600 feet. Thats a long tow! Imagine trying to hang on for that long. I'm not sure what happened after 1939, but if anybody knows anything about this early, please let me know.
