You should check out Davos in Woodridge, NY

So, in 2024 can you still get in there or do you need a permit?

I remember being there on a class trip. I specifically remember the alpine slide - it just ended and my cart flew off the track and hit the ground fast and hard - I had the wind knocked out of me! I also remember the pool and it had lots of Gypsy moth caterpillars floating around-I swam in it anyway. All in all, I still had a good time being there. I wish I had the opportunity to learn to ski there.

I skiid this hill with my Wanaque Elementary school ski club in about ‘88-‘89ish. Maybe 1990??? I remember 3 runs- beginner, “inter” and “ex”. There was 1 or 2 lifts and a t-bar and all the way to the side there was a tow rope on the bunny slope area. Great memories, mostly about which girl I would ride the chair lift with. My Dad brought me here a bunch of times too. We crashed his late-seventies Fiat in the parking lot when a kid came out of no where on a sled. Thanks for the video.

Many happy hours learning to ski in my youth at Snow Bowl and a broken leg! ⛷❄

Always wanted to go there but always just drove to Hunter. I wish I skied there just one day...

I live near there Who knew 😅😅😅

There were two other lost Ski Hills near this one. Silvermine in the Hariman State Park and Ski Stony Point exit 15 Gate Hill Road Palisaides parkway..

I grew up a few minutes from here, and my family has lived in the area for about 90 years at this point. Really fascinating to see this covered. My dad grew up skiing here, and my uncle actually worked on the alpine slides as a summer job back in the 70s. There's another abandoned ski area a few miles down the road in Moultonborough, which I think was called Ossipee Mountain, as well as a small ski coop which is still in operation (Red Hill Ski Club). Skiing has changed so drastically since the midcentury. These small hills were affordable, local recreation for small communities. It's really sad to see so much of gone.

Fantastic work I grew up skiing camelback

The zucc master. Do you think the layout confused people?

Use to live around this neighborhood, me and my brother learn how to ski here. Sad to see it in decay.

I believe there is still a Craigmeur Ski Club in existence - they had a club owned lodge up around Killington, VT in the early 2000's, maybe they still do.

I lived in Holyoke in 78-79 w/wife #1 . Mt. Tom was the 1st sky mountain I had ever seen, and 1st time I ever saw snow. I have a lot of great memories of Holyoke and ex-wife #1.

I grew up in this neighborhood and spent many days tromping around those woods with friends, often stumbling upon abandoned structures. Glad to know more of the history behind some of them! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, this was great :)

Great video! Mt Tom was the first slope I skied on. Holyoke is Western Mass btw.

Is this near Mountain Park?

Originally from Spfld and skiied every yr in the 70s and 80 almost every night. The alpine slide was nice as well. Alot of wonderful memories.

if you want another Landry's ski area in windham nh you can still see the bottom of the trails

I grew up going to Arrowhead in Marlboro. Moved out here in 94. Had every intention of bringing my son there but he wasn’t born till Dec. 96. We did get that big snowfall in Jan. 96!

Sad how our state is not the state it was,plus the government pushed and is still pushing out our farms .

The basement was bathroom/ shower area and tile area was kitchen. Bar and restaurant was to far left after you first walked onto the main lodge area. I have been in these structures in 80's and 90's. Sad to see all in dis repeat. The maintenance building still exists but that is it or maybe destroyed now from the video you just showed. Have not hiked this in a long time.

I hear a weird sound off in the distance…Sounds like some high pitched winding noise.

Thanks for the memories. learned to ski there in the late '60s and early "70s. the hart vs head vs K2 debates. the older kids were always doing bad stuff in the warm up shed that our mothers warned us about. night skiing. glad I grew up then. still at it with an EPIC pass, but not as good as Belle Bump. still have rope tow clasp.

This feels like fallout 4

Is this where Sonny Bono kissed a tree?? I'd like to try and find some of his teeth and clone him

I went there in 1976 for our senior trip. Was very nice. I remember the indoor pool.

I used ri go here in the summer with my family when we stayed in Moultonborough. Cool place with Bumper Cars .

Western Massachusetts.

It's actually nice to see Nature take over again.

I loved to ski there Friday nights. It was such a cool place to ski in the early seventies. Great views nice people. Another great place was hogback Mountain in southern Vermont it’s closed now also. You could ski close the home. Without the busyness and lots of people like Mount Snow.

Just found this video.Born in 1971, I grew up in Holyoke. Moved out in 1997. Went to Mt Park as a kid and teen. Learned to ski at Mt Tom. Mt Tom was a ski resort first, then they added the alpine slide, then added the water park before it closed. The wave pool was added in front of the main lodge. At the lodge you could grab food at the cafeteria line and sit down and eat. Or head to bar in the basement (before my time) where the .50 cigarette pull handle machine was. Where you walked down "the wooden" steps was the Ski Shop. And you were correct on the location of the ski rental building. There were multiple buildings for chairlifts, ski patrol, staff and medical. Mt Tom offered a Chairlift Day Pass, Night Pass, All Day pass and a Season pass. Ski jumps were not allowed and if the ski patrol caught you "jumping" they would "Warn you" or "Pull your pass". They were strict. If you got caught, they took your chairlift pass from you and no more rids. If you had a season pass you could get it back a week later. I remember a season pass was $150 in the 80's. Day or Night pass was $40(???) If you turned around on the chairlift you see the CT River and homes in South Hadley lite up at night. Hard to remember but there were multiple Ski lifts, also a J-Bar and a T-Bar. Snow guns ran all season long to add additional snow to the slopes. Which were also fun to "jump the pipe line" carrying water to the snow guns. The steepest "diamond" trail on the mountain was my favorite - the Waterfall. Final fun fact. Mt Tom is a ancient Dormant Volcano. Cheers! Thanks for bringing back some great old memories!

Worked there in late eighties running lifts at night. Season pass holder in nineties for skiing. Learned to ski there after school in the 70s. Miss it.

We are Western Mass. Don't confuse us with them Central Mass Worcester folks that talk funny. LOL 3:30...Resident Evil creepy. BTW...that's the same mtn range that runs through Russel and Tekoa Mtn. On the Southern rocky ledges, be on the lookout for them rattlely snakes. I've seen them.

lol my parents met there 😅

Learned to ski there 1981 ish. Sad its gone

Went skiing for my first an only time for my 13th birthday back in 1978. Holyoke just isn't the same place as I remembered as a kid. As such with most towns...

Thanks for the terrific video!

The winters started warming up. They couldn't make snow any more.

18:57 I skied here many times at first in my young years in the later 60’s, later in middle/high school and even later than that in my late teens early twenties. Never got back there in my second resurrection of skiing. I have not skied in a long while now, and don’t expect to go back to it. Mt Tom is still fresh in my mind though, I remember skiing on rocks and ice often. I also remember that one of the kids in my ski (?) class perished after hitting a tree after he fell and landed off the trail. This was long before helmets were a thing. The T-bar also comes to mind as well a rope tow. Sad to see it in this condition.

I learned to ski there

Growing up in northwest CT back in the 60s through the 80s Mt Tom was a very popular destination! Sad that it closed! We had so many more recreational areas it seems when I was growing up!

So sad to see, it was a beautiful place. Skied the in early to mid 70s. Also at Mt Peter. Used to be Great Gorge as well, their all night ski parties were a blast. Would always align with like the coldest windiest nights of a season, weirdly predictable. Learned to ski at Hunter Mountain in NY. There was a place near Stirling Forrest where me and friend would take our motocross bikes (RM125, YZ125) and ride. Such a cool area. Sorry to see the change. Have done most of my skiing in NH (Wildcat, Attitash) and Vermont (Killington, Jay Peak) when living in NH. Skied 4 or 5 times a week in NH in the late 70s early 80s. Used to get allot more snow. Some of the best times of my life spent with friends on the slopes with friends. Enjoy your videos though really tinged with sadness balanced against some amazing memories. Sort of haunting, imagining all of the people that had been there, and uncountable people hours of fun times had.

Glebe Mountain Farm/Timber Ridge...

Had a blast there as a young kid early 70s. Always recall that ski area with the lodge at the top.

It was always fun mountain. But we usually just drove up to wildcat . Great job with the video.

I used to be able to see the slopes from my home neighboring Chicopee.

I used to go there as a kid with my father, we brought my metal detector and would find watches, rings, coins, keys, and rings left there from when the skiers would fall down.

I spent 6 seasons teaching at Cortina Valley from '78 - '84 when not in school (and sometimes when I was supposed to be 😅). Very nice, small, area and fun memories. Loved your tour. Views reminded me of its hey day. Thanks for the reminder. Rob

Ossipee = AUS E pee or AUS O pee or AUS A pee, depending on who you talk to. AUS like Australia. Not the most important thing in the world, grateful for your video, enjoyed it.
