I have seen other websites w/ various comments on the “Alpine Slide” @ Mt. Tom and some are not accurate. As a kid and well into my Teen years I rode the Alpine Slide ALOT OF TIMES, I still have the old “Wrist Bands” they would issue for all day riding. The Two Slides/Tracks were the same and there was a “Small Drop” section of the track, That if not carefull, You & your Sled could become “AIRBORNE” !!!
I have many scars from the A.S. as a result of wearing shorts and T-shirts early on. I soon wised up and started wearing Jeans and Long Sleeved shirts and yet still somehow managed to wreck many pairs of Jeans & Shirts w/ “Burn Marks” from the Track, I was allways “racing as Fast as I could. One year, maybe 1986, 87, I “Flipped Up & Over” and landed back on the Track “BREAKING MY FOOT”, only not Knowing it till I had gotten to the Bottom of the Mountain and not being able to walk!!!!!!!! At the top of the Mountain I would try to get the Best Sled possible & would allways Spin the wheels to check to see how well they worked! The “Control Stick” on the sled was: Forward/Push= GO….. Pull Back= Brake/slow down, which in my case I hardly ever used the brake. I would allways try to wait a Few extra minutes before going down the slide in hopes that I wouldnt catch up w/ some “SLOWPOKE” , I wanted SPEEEEEEED!!!!! Those are my memories of The “Alpine Slide” @ Mt. Tom in Holyoke, MA
I would like to Know where the “AlpineSlide” went; Who Purchased it, There are many Ski areas in VT. & NH w/ “Alpine Slides”, some longer than others, and some “Charging way too much to Ride!!!

Hey cool photos. I started at Mt. Tom when I was 3 ski raced all through high school. Then off to St. Mikes in Vt. to race there and after that to UTAH. This never could have happened without Mt. Tom.

Thanks so much for this. I knew the place closed and meant to drive in during my occasional trips to Springfield but never seem to have the time. I used to ski there in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I didn’t realize how great a little place it was until I left. It’s a shame kids in the Springfield area won’t be able to enjoy it like I did.

it is a shame to see mt. tom in the condition it is in. i worked at mt tom for 8 years in the 80s. very fond memories of my days there and the people i encounter while working there. the best job i ever had, enjoyed every minute. fond memories of jimmy o’connell, dave moore, larry cabot, kenny widelo, hienze, don turgeon and the members of the ski patrol and countless others i worked with and met at mt. tom. it brings tears to my eyes thinking of the times i had there.
