- Thank you to Judy and Fritz
Balsley:
- "Twin Valley, built by
the Madison YMCA Ski Club, was only about a
mile from Blackhawk ski jump (between
Middleton and Cross Plains). We had an old
Plymouth coupe and made a laminated wood
drive wheel that bolted on the rear axel to
power the rope tow. You could put it in
second gear and go up faster than you could
ski down. We had night skiing on one run."

Good Morning,
Our park system has

best of my knowledge, tow ropes were never

traditionally been designated for
cross-country skiing.
