HISTORICAL NOTE

Information from the Juneau Ski Club Newsletter “Ski Tracks”, February 1993

“Bits of History” by Bob Janes – Ski Club Historian

Here’s Judge Tom Stewart’s version of the history of downhill skiing in the Juneau area. A Juneauite

since 1919, Tom sees it as “4 phases” and he’s been a part of each one.

Phase 1: In the early 1930s, rope tows were springing up all over the country, including Juneau. In 1932 a

portable tow with 1,000 feet of quarter inch rope was installed in the Upper Perseverance Trail area, on

Alexander (Sandy) Smith's mining claim. There was a 200-yard grassy area in his front yard, which

became the first real "ski hill" in Juneau. Skiers could be towed 500 feet up the slope for a great downhill

run!

Later, Sandy Smith was to become the first president of the Juneau Ski Club when it was formed in 1935.

Phase 2: In 1935 the Douglas Bridge opened, and access to meadow areas on Douglas Island opened up

via Dan Moller Trail, which was constructed by the U.S. Forest Service. The little portable tow was

moved to these sites, First Meadow and Second Meadow, about one and a half miles up the trail. Forest

Service shelters were built, to become known as First Cabin and Second Cabin.

Ten years later, after returning from the U.S. Ski Troops and the 10th Mountain Division, Judge Stewart

was responsible for getting the Ski Club's first "heavy duty" rope tow going. It was powered by a 1945

Dodge truck engine purchased in Seward for $50, and it was set up in the lower Second Cabin area.

Ski jumping was on at the time, at "Jump Hill" near West Juneau. Hundreds of spectators would go there

to see the action, including a downhill race over the Dan Moller Trail.

Phase 3: This began in the early 1950s. The ski Club's tow at Second Cabin was moved to an upper site

which became known as the Douglas Ski Bowl, just beyond the Dan Moller Cabin. A warming hut was

built by the Ski Club (by Pete Bibb and his high school students), which became Third Cabin.

Transportation developed, with snow cat operations. Judge Stewart played a key role in purchasing a

Tucker Snow Cat from Medford, Ore., at a cost of $10,000. She was christened "Oola," the Juneau Ski

Train, and could carry 40-50 skiers with a sled caboose.

Shortly after the Ski Club's tow was moved from Second Cabin, Al Shaw started a commercial rope

operation under the name of KAW-WAH-EE Ski Company. So then skiers had a choice of two rope tow

areas. Oola served them both, and by noon could have several hundred skiers at each site. Oola wore out

in about 10 years, and was followed by a snow cat operation that Ink Ingledue started; then in 1970, the

ski club purchased a Snow Master Snow Cat for a price of $3,850. This one kept running right up to the

time of Eaglecrest Ski Area.

Phase 4: Where we are today - Eaglecrest, which opened in the winter of 1975-76. But that's another

story, and we'll save that until later.

The hard hike up to the Douglas Ski Bowl, or Dan Moller Bowl, or 3rd Cabin to old-timers, was alleviated a bit when the first rope tow put in at 2nd Meadows after World War II was moved to the bowl. The high school team could only ride on “Oola” the ski tractor if they were racing. Some would grasp on with their ski poles and ride along. The tractor became “Oola, the Juneau Ski Train” and pulled a sled caboose that held 40-50 skiers. The Juneau Empire thanks the anonymous individual for the photo.

Photographer unknown. Pete Bibb wrote on the back “We Overheaded to Seattle/This picture shows the 1957 ski and basketball team of Juneau High School assembled at the airport in Seattle, Wash. We had just attended a school meet in Anchorage, Alaska and were unable to land in Juneau on account of the weather-much to the joy of the young athletes and the demise of the coaches. I never would have been aware that this picture existed if I hadn’t attended the 40th class reunion of graduating class of 1957-the last to graduate from the old high school on 6th street. Thanks to the effort and generosity of Warren Powers, first left on front row-kneeling, I obtained this copy of the picture. Ellis “Pete” Bibb is standing next to the basketball coach Bill Ordway-in blue overcoat. Bill was truly a unique personality-a man’s man. He had been a member of a professional football team. I regret that I didn’t look more professional in my dress-I did however improve with age later on. The plane in the background is a Lockheed Constilation-one of my all time favorites. The reason-a profile like a shark and it’s powerful piston engines. It was affectionately called “the Conny”.-Pete Bibb”. Jeannie Burrus Kline added to Pete’s writing “This photo is of the Juneau Ski Team and Juneau Basketball Team. They both won in the All Alaska meets. Mike Grummett made the winning shot in overtime.” 4_1_1956_0018 “Capturing the mountain for the Confederacy!” Pete Bibb (red hat) and a friend from South Carolina, who had a Confederate flag, on the Third Cabin Ridge.

The picture bottom front on the other [side] shows Ricky in a boat at my home site cabin on the beach of Gastineau Channel. We were busy hauling brick from an old steam plant of Nevada Creek Gold Mine across on Douglas Island. The brick was to be for me [for] a fireplace in my cabin. Ricky loved to ski. He was one of the group of skiers in Juneau High School who wanted to ski so much that they were willing to hike up the Dan Moler Ski Trail to do their skiing. They were a special group of kids. Richard could have gone on to the best of schools, but he chose the free life style of commercial fishing. On a trip back from Elfin Cove with a full tank of crabs, having taken on board a young lady needing a ride to Juneau, running into bad weather his boat top heavy. Richard gave the only survival suit to the young lady. The boat swamped, the young lady with the only survival suit made it to the beach where she was later picked {up}.
