I discovered this really cool rope tow as part of my NH Talls & Smalls adventure at the Red Hill Ski Area. This is the original set-up (minus replaced rope) since the 1950's. Truck is a 49 Ford with a Flathead V8. Makes me wonder how many other vintage lifts are still in operation throughout the...
