Guy H. (Hector) Wood, known variously as Hector, Guy, and Woody, and Charlie Keough rigged a rope tow and ran the downhill area at Dewey Mountain from 1938 through 1940.  In 1941 and '42 Keough and Woods owned and operated the Sky View Ski area at [[1]]. The ski slope used a lift of Keough's design: a tree served as the deadhead while a rope ran off the rear wheels of Ford Truck through a pole and pulley system. The entire lift was powered by the V-8 engine of the Ford Truck.  World War II soon put an end to the operation.

In 1988 Guy H. Wood was a contractor living and working in Speculator, NY.
