“1966 — The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram started taking people to the top of Rendezvous Mountain for skiing, holding 63 people and taking 9 minutes to reach the summit at 10,450 feet.”
I drove out there for Spring Break in 1969.
Parking was free.....
Lift Line for the Tram was short and 5 Day lift tickets were affordable.
Snow was the same as now.
I went to Mont Tremblant a decade later and I think paid $80 Canadian for 2 nights in a cabin (before there was a single condo there) 2 days skiing with dinner. Now that's $800.
