I saw in the newspaper that Brantling Ski Resort was offering all day lift tickets for $ 10.00 and so I took my son with me to ski there. What we found was that even in the most unlikely of places an Olympic Alpine Champion had been introduced to skiing. Now, most people don't know too much about this little ski resort in New York. Brantling isn't known for steep vertical slopes or long winding trails or scenic vistas, it's known
as the place where Diann Roffe-Steinrotter learn how to ski. Diann Roffe won the silver medal in 1992 Albertville Games and the gold medal in 1994 Lil'hammer. She was born in nearby Warsaw, NY.I will remember the bruises on the back of my legs from the nasty bar lift and that I may have skied the same trail as an Olympic Champion.
It isn't so surprising that Brantling offers introductory classes specifically for women skiers; and that the Brantling Junior Race Team has produced many athletes who have ski raced in college over the years.
It is always worth going to the ski at these family oriented ski resort as you may not know about its place in skiing history.
