In search of cheap help

Temple Mountain was the site of the privately owned Temple Mountain Ski Area from 1938 to 2001, when  it was closed. In 2007, the state took it over and turned it into a park. The ski area’s proximity to Greater Boston made it very popular in its heyday, in the ‘50s and ‘60s.— Photo by Ken Gallager
