I was a jr patroller @ Klein Innsbruck in 1993-94 (10th grade). I took my medical course there in the spring of 93 and passed the practicum in June 93 at Wachusset. In fact, the day of my exam the Coppertop lounge area still had all the presentations up for the “big expansion” Wawa had recently announced. The one that took ten years and was a shell of the original proposal, but I digress.
Klein Innsbruck had 2 Hall doubles. We usually ran the one on lookers left. One of the other patrollers was a high school soccer teammate. I later dated a girl whose brother and father were also both patrollers.
It’s base area was a lot smaller than say, Yawgoo Valley, which I live ten minutes from now. Actually KI’s vertical was actually bit bigger than Yawgoo’s true vert IIRC. But yes, Klein’s had a restaurant and lounge called “Rumplestiltsken’s” that was always busy.
I went to high school with a granddaughter or grandniece of the owner, Stanley. He screamed at me one day for a good ten minutes because I ignored a pair of goggles on the ground. I’m a patroller not lost and found, no? Wrong answer, it turns out.
KI closed 20 years ago and they blasted / graded out a lot of the hill (Oak Hill on a USGS topographic map). I can’t imagine there’s anything left since the whole base area was razed and became senior housing.
I’d you want to see where it was, take 495 to exit 16 (King St) and head towards Woonsocket. KI was about 3 or 4 miles down on the left.
