Crotched Mountain, Orange Triangle — c. 1980s

A vintage Crotched Mountain ski patch, estimated to date from the 1980s, featuring a solid orange-red peak above a band of heavy stencil type, with the red t in Crotched running straight up into the summit like a lift line. A black-bordered triangle.

That trick with the t is the best piece of design in the Crotched set. Somebody sat with this one a while.

In 2003 Peak Resorts spent a reported $10 million rebuilding the old west side and reopened it as Crotched Mountain on December 20. Vail bought Peak in 2019. The east side, the one this patch was made for, stayed closed.

Woven, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
