Wilbraham
Academy
Wilbraham,
MA
Late
1930s/Early 1940's
Part of the now Wilbraham-Monson
Academy, the original Wilbraham Academy operated a small ski area in Wibraham.
The area first sported a 2 mile ski trail on Wilbraham Mountain. It started
at an old cabin at a reservoir through the woods down to the campus below.
A ski jump also existed. An old jalopy with a rope tow likely served the
lower part of this trail.
Thanks to Coralie
Gray, we have these great maps/pictures of
this area.
Here is
a map of Wilbraham Academy in the 1930's. Notice the ski trail on the right. |

and a description of the area from Coralie. |
