Griggs, Chauncey: "In 1935, Jim Parker and I founded Ski Lifts, Inc. and built and installed the
first rope tows west of New England at Paradise Valley. Snoqualmie Summit, and Mt Baker. We
operated this company for six years and sold out in 1942 to Webb Moffett, our first employee. I
served in the Artillery Section of the 10th Mountain Division at Camp Hale, CO, and ended the
war in San Francisco as a transportation officer."
