Black Mountain, T-Bar, Woven — c. 1970s

A vintage Black Mountain ski patch from Jackson, New Hampshire, estimated to date from the 1970s: the same navy shield and gold lettering as the chairlift version, except these two skiers are standing, hauled up the hill on a yellow T-bar instead of sitting on a chair.

Black Mountain ran both lifts side by side for almost twenty years, and somebody decided the surface lift deserved its own patch. Different patch, same mountain.

In October 2023 the mountain announced it was closing. A week later it wasn't. Indy Pass bought it in 2024 with a plan to run it as a cooperative. Ninety years in, it still survives on whoever shows up.

Woven, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
