“Times were really gloomy at Meany in early 1960,” Doug Damm, Hut Chairman at that time, recounted. “The trains stopped in March, 1960 and the rest of that season supplies had to be hand-carried all the way from the highway.” Doug hilariously told the story of a test run behind Tom Van DeVanter’s station wagon to determine how people would react to being towed in by the Cat on ropes. Apparently after a speedy start, a little panic, and a frantic call to “STOP,” Tom applied the brakes and the skiers all plowed into his open tailgate.ma78
