In the late 1980s, the ski programs for all Manchester High Schools were in jeopardy of being cut from the city budget. At this time, Bob Gilman donated his time and efforts to help ski racing stay a high school sport. From the team’s reinstatement until his untimely death after a second battle with cancer in 1995 at the age of 47, Bob remained as the champion of the ski program. He always had a love for skiing and also a great pride in McIntyre Ski Area. The race is held annually, in celebration of him and his efforts, and will continue for years to follow.
