Nose Dive: A History of Mt. Mansfield‘s Famous Trail

  • Vermont Ski & Snowboard Museum via ZOOM 1 South Main Street Stowe, VT 05672 United States (map)

Museum Curator Meredith Scott will moderate a conversation on the history of Stowe’s Nosedive Trail. We'll cover the trail design, building, and early history. Mike Leach, Mt. Mansfield Ski Club historian, and Brian Lindner, Stowe Mountain Resort historian, will use historical images to show the trail's development. Robin Morning, Olympic skier and author of Tracks of Passion: Eastern Sierra Skiing, Dave McCoy & Mammoth Mountain, and most recently For the Love of It: The Mammoth Legacy of Roma and Dave McCoy, will offer a parallel story happening at Mammoth Mountain, California. Olympian Rosie Fortna, Vermont Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame member and Morning’s teammate, will join us to talk about training in Vermont and Mammoth in the 1960s. We'll finish the evening with a live Q&A session with our audience.
