Also it should be noted that the tow and first slopes were not located on the current ski area's side of the mtn (N,) but on the western slope. Gunstock and the immediate surrounding area has an interesting ski history, indeed.

A metal clamp thing that grabs onto the rope. They are often hooked up to a harness on the person.

Any pics? I was referring to the Bosquet Tow Gripper I guess. I spend quite a bit of time there, and have several friends who are members at the Greylock Ski Club, that uses the Tow Gripper. Originally Posted by billski
