Counting who skied it…

Linda and Richard Legere cleared a hill in their back yard in North Berwick and put in a used handle tow bought from the town of Biddeford, first for family and friends and later for the public. Several trails dropped about 110 feet, and one visitor rated the top third of the hill as expert terrain.1
