mbike-ski Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 I learned to ski at Ski Mountain Pine Hill NJ there's also a facebook group 1 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited March 13, 2020 by EdBacon Quote

EdBacon Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Posted March 13, 2020 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. 2 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 I’m enjoying this thread. Thanks for posting. When I see pictures of deserted ski areas, I always think about the fun that was had there. 1 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 20, 2020 Author Report Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Apple Hill operated from 1962 until 1978. Does anyone here remember skiing there? Edited March 20, 2020 by EdBacon 2 Quote

One of the three times he skied. The other two were at a PlayBoy ski hill in Lake Geneva Wisconsin when he was in the Navy. 1 Quote

My grandparents were friends with Fritz Kramer who owned Apple Hill..when my mom was a kid Apple hill was the little place to ski and Doe mountain was the big place. My dad learned to ski at Vernon Valley/Great Gorge which had a playboy club in the 70s I believe. Edited March 20, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

mikes781 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 I drove by one in Conshohocken the other week. Totally forget it was even there. Think it was a private club. I’ll try to get a pic whenever I get back by there. Quote

mikes781 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Wissahickon Ski Club? Thats it. I grew up in that area and I can’t recall ever seeing anyone on it. We got measurable snow in Philly maybe once or twice a year. The lifts were still there. Apparently still going as of a few years ago. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/local/skiing-the-slopes-in-conshohocken/74155/ 2 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited March 27, 2020 by EdBacon 1 Quote
mikes781 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 I remember always wanting to poach runs on my flexible flyer but go stuck with the local golf course and dodging cars on our streets. Quote
