Independence Mine Resort T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

Independence Mine Resort Ski Area at Hatcher Pass near Palmer, Alaska, opened in the fall of 1960 in the buildings of an idle gold mine, 22 miles up the Fishhook Road. It had rope tows, a T-bar and later a platter lift, with a vertical drop of about 500 feet, and skiers ate and slept in the old bunkhouse.

The hill closed in the late 1970s after road plowing costs, new state lift safety rules and the pipeline boom cut into business. The mine buildings now belong to Independence Mine State Historical Park.

About the design: Redrawn from the resort's own woven patch, a miner skiing past a gold nugget.
