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."
