History:
SKI TILL THE COWS COME HOME.
AMERICA’S FIRST ROPE TOW LAUNCHED IN A WOODSTOCK PASTURE.
It’s the early 1900s. Woodstock Inn is a whirlwind of winter activity. Guests take to the hills on sleds and ski bobs. There’s sleigh riding and snowshoeing. In 1912 a ski jump is added to the 1,000-foot torch-lit toboggan run. And the town gains a reputation for riotous winter parties.

Jump to 1934. A group of Woodstock locals rig up a Model T Ford engine to power the nation’s first rope tow in a pasture near Gilbert’s Hill. The modern ski industry is born.

Just a hop, skip, and a jump, and it’s 1936. Wallace "Bunny" Bertram opens a ski lift on Hill No. 6, soon known as "Suicide Six". In no time it becomes one of the area’s leading alpine resorts.

And now, in the 21st century, Suicide Six is state-of-the-art with double chair lifts, great grooming, 60% snowmaking coverage, and comfortable well-equipped lodges with great food and drink.
