Thunder Mountain Colonial Ski Area T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

Thunder Mountain Ski Area in Charlemont, Massachusetts, started in 1953 as a members-only ski club on Mount Institute, with two rope tows, three trails and a skating pond. After a short, snow-starved first run, Arthur Parker rebuilt it from 1960 as a much larger hill with a double chairlift, T-bars and a 1,000-foot drop.

It opened that way in December 1961 with a parachute jump and drew about 18,000 skiers in its first full season. A losing 1964-65 season brought new owners, and the hill took a new name for 1969-70.

About the design: Redrawn from Thunder Mountain's own round patch of a colonial skier in a three-cornered hat.
