SORDONI AMONG SPONSORS
OF WINTER SPORTS PROJECT
A 25-year-old dream—realization of which would make
Montrose a winter sports center and boom business in the dull
seasons—gave rich promise of coming true this week.
Three Binghamton men, Attorney Joseph Berry, Harry L.
Johnson, Jr., and Percy Smith,
are sponsoring plans which call
for installation of a modern oki tow near Montrose in the next
few weeks. Mr. Berry is consultant on winter sports to the
New York State Parks Commission, while both Mr. Johnson,
a nephew of George H. Johnson, creator of the Endicott- John-
son Corporation, and Mr. Smith have had wide experience in
the winter sports field.
THREE SLOPES SELECTED
During a visit to Montrose several
weeks ago, Mr. Berry selected three
slopes, all with Northeastern ex-
posure (where the snow lasts long-
est) near Montrose.
With former State Senator A. J
Sordoni, owner of Montrose Inn,
actively interested in the project,
it may develop that two tows will
be erected. Mr. Sordoni and M. E
Morrison, general manager of the
Sterling Hotel System, of which
Montrose Inn is a part, have con-
ferred with the Binghamton men
and stand ready to boost the pro-
ject “to the hilt”. Mr. Sordoni has
offered to provide a gasoline engine
and wench, erect poles for lighting
and to aid the project materially in
several other ways.
It also is expected that ski trails
will be established in this area “be-
fore the snow flies—and stays”.
Other groups are reported planning
to develop skating facilities either
at Lake Montrose or at School Park,
between Jackson and Union streets.
RAILROADS INTERESTED
The Binghamton sponsors of the
ski tow project are confident ar-
rangements can be made with the
Lackawanna Railroad to send ex-
cursion trains to Montrose. Similar
arrangements also may be made
with the Lehigh Valley Railroad and
the Reading Company, whose trains
leave Philadelphia and connect with
the Lehigh Valley at Bethlehem.
Winter sports enthusiasts are cer-
tain to be attracted from Bing-
hamton, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
and other towns and cities in the
Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys.
That Montrose will experience a
business boom as a result of the
winter sports movement seems as-
sured. Montrose Inn, which will
provide. a most attractive hostelry
for the visitors, is sure to derive
benefits, as are other inns, tourist
homes, restaurants, service stations
and stores.

joining counties.
