{"product_id":"the-highlands-northfield-gray-c-1970s","title":"The Highlands, Northfield, Gray — c. 1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage ski patch from The Highlands, Northfield, New Hampshire, probably 1970s, featuring a gold loop of thread hanging over the summit that looks like either a lasso or a halo. Two white embroidered peaks with a dark lift line between them, a blue trail snaking down to NORTHFIELD, , tall gold script. Round, cream merrowed edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Highlands opened in late December 1968 on the north face of Bean Hill, southeast of Tilton, with two T-bars, two rope tows, night skiing and six miles of trail. The Elliott family built it and ran it, and they were early in aerial skiing, which is a strange résumé for a family hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere was no snowmaking for years. In 1979–80 it reportedly didn't run at all. The power was cut in 1993. The last season was 1994–95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday it's Highland Mountain Bike Park. The triple chair carries bikes now, and the trails have jumps on them. The family hill found a second life on two wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered on twill, merrowed edge.
