    Anyone want to have a go at guessing what area this was?
  2. EdBacon
    You couldn't buy the kits, that's why hospitals didn't stock up. They didn't exist. People wanted them but there just were none. There still aren't nearly enough.

    I'm trying to get better at the Ken Burns thing.

    The year we got no other snow except for one random dump in October. Great stuff! I've finally uploaded the full walk around:

    I think the club itself is still active, but I don't know if they operate the lift anymore. I should try getting in touch with them. Might be a cool place to visit one of these winters if they are ever open.

    Are they open anymore for skiing? I don't mean now, I mean in general.

    Split Rock.

    Is that actually from the CDC? Attaching the president's name to it politicizes it and that's something the CDC would normally avoid.

    Skiing at places with playboy clubs seems to be a theme.

    Apple Hill operated from 1962 until 1978. Does anyone here remember skiing there?

    It's to prevent public gatherings.

    This is next next then.

    If anyone can guess this next place I will buy you a drink:

    The next area on my list is probably going to be Split Rock. If anyone remembers skiing or riding there, and has any stories or images/resources/links to share, I'd be super grateful and I'll make sure to mention your name.

    Yeah its a golf course now. I don't think anything is left to tell skiing went on there. There's an even more bizarre NJ ski hill south of there. Holly Mountain.

    Ding ding ding. We've got a wiener!

    I've got another place lined up. Only 70s kids will remember it though.

    Interesting fact: last area opened on the east coast that wasn't a reopening of a formerly closed area was Whitetail, in 1991. Anyways, I decided to keep up this project. Here is lost area #2: Belle Mountain outsider Lambertville, NJ.

    Heard of the story of that place. It is a major bummer for sure. There was another attempt at a major PA mountain out between Harrisburg and Johnstown, I think. It was called Sno Peak or Sno Park or something like that. It was open for like 3 years in the 80s or early 90s and was only half built, but would have had like 1300 feet of vertical.

    Yeah I noticed they were very close together at the top. I guess you couldn't ski the whole top to bottom t-bar line, you had to cut over towards the triple then. I also don't know who ever bought the lifts. The t-bar I imagine was scrapped. The triple is probably having a second life somewhere, I'm not sure where though.

    Nobody seemed to mind. It is private property, but there's a public trail along the side of the area by the lake. You can pretty easily just walk over onto the old ski slopes. I never actually got to snowboard there. I did go snowtubing there back in the 90s. Our cub scout troop used to do trips, my memories of the place are pretty hazy. We only ever went to the medium tubing park, we never got to try the big one. I do remember the ambulances though! I was actually wondering, since the t-bar didn't seem to run much in the later days, how did you access the "advanced" terrain from the triple lift if the t-bar wasn't running?
