BRETTON WOODS — On a fittingly snowy night, the New England Ski Museum held its 2021 annual business/dinner meeting at the Omni Mount Washington Resort last Saturday. The event was highlighted by the “Spirit of Skiing” awards presented to former longtime Wildcat Mountain General Manager Stan Judge, 94, of Shelburne and to the late Loon general manager and Attitash president, Phil Gravink (1935-2020).
Introducing Judge was Jackson Ski Touring Foundation Executive Director Ellen Chandler, who once worked for Judge doing public relations for Wildcat Mountain.
