 My film student Max and I were watching 9&10 News reel 162 and enjoyed a silent segment on Bear Mountain in Grayling. Here are some still shots I took from "Bear Mountain"  9/24/1974. It was a very snowy day. Shots include the Bear Mountain Sign, the Fred Bear Museum, the Polygedron Hotel, ticket booth, Games building, Inn sign, skiiers on the lift, and cars driving on snowy road. Neither the miniature train, Little Smokey, nor the stage coach are in this film.
