Wolverton Ski Bowl was not part of Camp Wolverton or the BSA. Patches shown below are for general interest only. The ski area opened in 1921 and was located about a mile from Camp
Wolverton at the end of Wolverton Road in Sequoia National Park. Rope
tows were first installed by the Sequoia Ski Club through a permit
issued by Sequoia National Park in 1945. The Park Service stopped
renewing the permits in 1982 and the rope tows were removed. Cross
country skiing is still allowed in the area although downhill skiers
need to hike to the top of the runs which are no longer maintained. Rope Tow ticket issued by Sierra Ski Club
to member of Troop 34 Venice on a winter camp trip to Camp Wolverton. Cost: $2.00. Hand dated 3/18/56. It is not clear what the letter "K" stood for. |
