60’s Ski Songs by Ray Conrad – My sister and I sang his songs when Bristol Mountain (NYS) first opened circa 1960. They imported instructors from Austria and German to the awe of us all. I’ve the first season pass 001 with my freshman high school pathetic picture. I’m looking for the sheet music for Cotton Picking Lift Tower songs. Any chance you can connect me.
