Was wondering if anyone else on here collected old ski patches. I started last year and have a nice little collection going. It's been fun going through old ski area history as well. You learn a bit about lost areas, the history of skiing in the NE and the styles that used to be popular back in the day.
Anyway thought I'd start off with the collection I'm building;
So far I have:
Bromley
Magic, from whenever they still had the Hans Thorner ski school
$teaux
Killington
Wildcat
Plattekill (this was purchased new, Platty still makes vintage looking patches you can buy at their shop)
Belleayre (this pattern was used by mult. mountains, same background just different name)
Elk
Camelback
Jack Frost
Big Boulder
Doe Mountain (now Bear Creek in SE PA)
Kahkout & Tanglewood (both defunct areas built in vacation communities in the Poconos)
So I got to learn a little and fuel my winter sports addiction through the summer hunting these down!
