Weiss Knob Ski Area T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

Weiss Knob Ski Area near Davis, West Virginia, was started by Bob Barton, who opened a rope tow in the Canaan Valley meadows for the 1955 season. The state encyclopedia calls it the first commercial ski area south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Barton later moved to the back of Bald Knob and added three rope tows and snowmaking. His wife Anita ran the ski school, and the area's patch shows a lone spruce on a snowy slope. Sources put the closing anywhere from the mid-1960s to about 1970.

About the design: Redrawn from Weiss Knob's own square patch, a lone spruce on a snowy slope, the same seal the area put on its 1957 brochure.
