When we were kids we were outside, fishing, making forts, doing a lot of things today's kids just don't do. In the winter, we were out on the hills near our house, making ski jumps and naming the runs we would track through the woods. When we were lucky, we would get out skiing at a real ski area. Places like Round Top, Magic Mountain, Stowe, Bromley, Mohawk Mountain, Brodie, Jiminy Peak,Satan's Kingdom, Glen Ellen, Okemo and Snow Valley.
Like the woods of our youth, many of these areas are no more. In New England alone, 548 ski areas have gone away over the years.
What area did you go to that is no longer there? Check them out at the fantastic New England Lost Ski Area Project site.
