Fred Pabst Jr. first opened Little Bromley perhaps as early as 1936 as a small surface lift ski area.
Pabst would later consolidate his vast Ski Tows, Inc. empire into Big Bromley, making it one of the largest ski areas in the country.
The first chairlift at Bromley would be installed for the 1958-59 season.
By the mid 1960s, Bromley was advertised as having the world's largest snowmaking system.
Fred Pabst Jr. stepped down as Bromley president in 1971.
The famous alpine slide was installed in 1976.
The area's first high speed detachable quad was installed in 1997.
In June of 2011, it was announced that Brian Fairbank and Tyler Fairbank were taking over the management of Bromley.
