BARTLETT — Sunday marked a milestone in the annals of Bear Notch Ski Touring and Snowshoe Center, as it was 30 years ago on that date ih 1994 that the Garland brothers, Doug and John Henry, opened for their first day of ski touring.
"We have snow and we want to share it," is how co-owner Doug Garland, of the then newly-created Bear Notch Ski Touring Center put it to fellow Sun scribe Lloyd Jones for the front-page story that appeared in the paper’s Dec. 29, 1994 edition.
