• My father Roland Kendall, manager of the Scott Hotel and his friend Cliff Paulson went to Milwaukee to the ski Club to get the group to come to Hancock! They had displays showing how much snow fell each year. I think it was 276 inches the year before. Several ski clubs came and stayed at the Scott Hotel!! I lived in the hotel from June 58 till June 61.
