Oyster Bay Ski Center T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

Oyster Bay Ski Center in Oyster Bay, New York, ran rope tows on a pasture hillside off Lake Avenue on Long Island's North Shore from the late 1940s to about 1959. Attorney Oscar Summers ran it, first as the Oyster Bay Ski Club, with a third tow added in 1951 that was driven by a pickup truck's rear wheel.

There was no snowmaking, so it opened only when a few inches fell, with night skiing on weeknights. The hill is built over now, but its white OYSTER BAY SKI CENTER sign survives at the Oyster Bay Historical Society.

About the design: Built on the hand-painted lettering of the area's own entrance sign, with the little skier badge from an old locator map.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
