You've heard stories of the local rope tows and family ski nights in your communities, but how much do you know about the history of your local ski hill. It's easy to just drive by and recall the days spent sipping hot chocolate in the lodge or hanging on for dear life as the rope tow whisked you to the top of the bunny slope, but whatever happened to that community hill? I suppose the popular idea would be for me to tell you to check out NELSAP, (New England Lost Ski Area Project) but I'm actually writing this in the hope that you will recall these places from your youth that others may not have already and share them with sites such as NELSAP. After 10 years online, a lot of folks think that if the area existed, it is documented on this popular site, but the fact remains that the areas listed are only there because people recall them, go out and fins where they were, and then the history is documented. Of course if you live outside of the northeast (NELSAP lists ski areas all along the eastern seaboard) there are other sites that aren't quite as established of extensive, but are growing...
In construction...
