PINKHAM NOTCH — Four guys sitting on Lunch Rocks in Tuckerman Ravine in the 1950s looked out across Route 16 envisioning what they would build one day: Wildcat Ski Area.

George Macomber, Brooks Dodge, Malcolm McLane and William “Mack” Beal Jr. looked out at the trail cut in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. They had competed on that rugged swath as college ski racers and two of them, Macomber and Dodge, went to two Olympics.
