Cold, light snow, 15 high. Minus 6 at night. Sue went to ball game at Downsville. We took down the wood stove and set up an oil burner, worked on it all day. The boys, Carol and Gilbert went skiing. LaVerne's and Mary here for supper.
Comment: Modernizing the heating system...I can remember it being so cold that the fuel oil would not flow...from Ski magazine about skiing in the sixties....
1960's It was skiing’s golden age: 10 years so concentrated with innovations it would take a book to describe them all adequately. Bob Smith invented the double-lens ski goggle, which no longer fogged. New snapping brakes on bindings separated skier from windmilling ski. Wood and metal skis were replaced by epoxy and fiberglass. The plastic boot was created. A good skier could now carve most of a turn purely on edge.

The decade opened with fireworks at the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley, where for the first time a gold medal was won on nonwood skis and the Games were telecast live across America. Professionals formed their own race-forcash circuit. In 1967, Jean- Claude Killy and Nancy Greene were crowned best in the world in the inaugural season of the World Cup. A lift ticket cost about $5.00......

Comment: Don't hear the term "emptied ashes" anymore. If the weather was bad or we were in a hurry for some reason we would sometimes just leave the manure spreader full of wood sitting outside the wood house door, or, if we needed the spreader, would just throw the wood off outside.....
