Any pictures. Not pictures so much, but just to hike around and check things out how they were years ago. The name i was trying to remember i just found on the last page you sent- mount aire lodge- i couldn't remember the name.

Mt. Aire is probably not the best place to hike, as they're building a casino on the site. You can see most of the ski hill from Woodland Road off of 611.

These abandoned mountains actually gave me a good idea.... are any of these mountains still somewhat untouched with trails that are still ski/snowboardable?

 

Say we get a storm that dumps enough snow to give a good enough base to ride on, would any of these mountains be ridable? Would beat going to a active mountain and have to deal with the crowds. Kinda like poaching runs but its not really poaching if the place is closed.

What about Chadd's Peak down off of Route 1 in Chadd's Ford? on the way to Brandywine.

Don't know if there is still any reminants or if they built homes on the hill...

 

its now full with town homes. I was there once!!

Oh man I remember Split Rock, learning to ski there with their T-Bar. And Craigmeur in NJ, both now gone.

 

 

I learned how to ski there too.

Don't try it at Apple Hill. They reguarly police it when it snows, and they prosecute trespassers.

 

 

 

damn, that ruined the first great idea ive had in a while

 

on the other hand it is occasionally fun to mess with the police

I was there a few years ago hiking around trying to figure out the layout. It looked like a lift base and some other junk laying around. Lots of new houses in the area so I would say no go.

Of all the areas on the DCSki link, Ski Snow Peak seemed like the best option for a new ski area. Anyone got a ton of expendable cash?

I went there once in 90 I think when I was a lift Op at Roundtop. The grooming was not just bad but BAD! We made about ten runs and left with are knees still working and ACL's in place.

 

The Mt. would have some nice drops and steeps at the top for sure.

i have borrowing power and know a few possible investors if anyone is interested in this. its not in pa though, but for 1.75 million, with lifts and snowmaking systems it seems a steal. just too small to compete with nieghboring resorts.

Ah, so they lowered it. Ah, so it's still not sold. Bummer. Someoneone could take that place, turn it into 100% park, and turn profits in a heartbeat.
