Crotched Mountain, Red and Blue Roundel — c. 1970s

A vintage Crotched Mountain ski patch, probably 1970s, with a pair of white skis crossed in a V at the top of a field split red, blue and white. “crotched” in fat red lowercase over MOUNTAIN in blue. Round, blue merrowed edge.

Around the mountain, on the west side, a separate ski area called Onset opened on December 14, 1969. Its trails were named for racehorses. It went to foreclosure, became Bobcat in 1977, and in 1979 was bought by the people who ran Crotched and renamed Crotched West.

The ski area running today is that west side, reopened in 2003. The Crotched on this patch is the other one. Same name, different face of the mountain.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
