  Mt Tom was a fun day/night trip. Living in CT it was easy to get to. I remember going night skiing every time it snowed and being exhausted after getting in as many runs as we could before the lifts stopped for the night!!

  I remember as a kid stopping here on the way up to our grandfathers camp in Thornton in the early/mid 60s. Our parents used it for a rest stop and lunch. We would watch the gondolas cross the road and drool over the stuff in the gift shop.

  I never learned to ski...but I did go to the water park at Mt. Tom with my parents in the 1980's. There were water slides and a pool,I remember it well. It was a fun time. Lived in Mass. for 52 years. Only been to Holyoke twice. On 2nd trip I saw as an adult that "Its a hell hole today!"sorry for those that have to live there....i mean that. really ...sorry

  I am from another country, and there are this abandoned ski resort. It's so sad... It was created in the 60s and was great till the mid 90s. It's been dismantled due to stupid "eco" activists who never give a fk for others' lives and jobs, a minority of people who don't even like the mountain or any kind of sport. Now there's all abandoned buildings and ugly debris all around because it's too expensive to celan it all. But I guess that a random frog species that wasn't endangered in the first place is more important. Now the area has got hand made trails and you can't step out from them, or even bring your dog. This is how you "enjoy" nature, thanks to the ecoidiots. It's really sad.

  Looks like a "Doppelmayr" T-Bar The reason is the short section hanging from the main lift cable contained a retractable short cable and wood T-Bar Skied on it over 50 years ago but cant remember for sure

  Cool info! Thanks. Not sure it was called Doppelmayr back then. I think that name only came later, after merging with several other companies. Not sure of the history but believe they were called Garavanta back then, then Thiokol then CTEC then finally Doppelmayr. Again, not sure on the order of operations on that or who merged/bought who.

  I worked there in 1974-75 grooming and running the lifts. Interestingly, the state wouldn’t allow skiers to utilize the gondola because it crossed NH RTE 16/25. We still ran it for tourists to gain access to the mountaintop view.

  ‘76 to maybe ‘82 or ‘83, taught for Adi Scheidl, fore’d the night crew for Dave Moore, worked the Alpine Slide summers, this place was a huge resource for the local community. Harry Craven, Jr even dug up a picture of me demo’ing grass skis when they were pitched to Dave as a summer business. What a gas! Shooting stars at night. Wild blueberries on the cliffs. The stuff young dreams are made of. Even a blizzard in an August thunderstorm! Working extra hours for Roger just below at Mountain Park when it was still operating. Gypsies. Playing air guitar to entertain customers with my crew-mates at the top. Walking the slide with a broom to clean out the toads and garter snakes. Dave handing me a broom to deal with the baby skunks caught on the slide with a nervous mom close by. Racing down with wheels pinned and beating Sully fair and square the night my girl-friend showed up just in time to see the crew-races. 3.5 days on and 3.5 days off. Spending half of what we earned at the Rusty Nail and the Aqua Vitae on days off. I could go on and on….

  Aww yeah! That's where I learned how to ski back in 1982... What a shame she gone now. 2:00 the pumphouse for the wave pool is gone too!?! That was all concrete! Hiked there a while back and it was still there. 3:13 yes, you are correct that was the lodge. If I remember right, those stairs went down to the bathrooms? and the Cafeteria was where the red tile was??? 7:55 yep, unload off the Bus, and into that building for your rentals...then up the stairs at 7:45 to go up to the lifts...that road sucked in ski boots..lol 8:55 nope, that was the shop for the trucks and grooming equipment, and maintenance crews 13:45 you are correct...the upper T-bar went a ways up into the woods away from the unload area before it turned around. Thanx for the memory flood fella! EDIT: Almost forgot...I think there's a memorial for a WW2 Plane crash up on the backside of it too?

  It was such a fun, well made, little ski area. Full snow making, ski lifts, fully lit. 20 - 25 minutes to Princeton. You could have fun after school/work. I had heard it closed because there were too many warm winters; the equipment wasn't in bad shape. Too bad it didn't survive and was scrapped. A mountain bike club made a course on it after it was closed but they left quite a mess and didn't really clean up after themselves. Most of the scars seem to finally be gone. Great memories. Thanks for making the video.

  I loved Craigmuir. My school would go once a month in a yellow bus. It was not too big and there were no crazies. The lodge had a nice view over the slope. Very short walk from the parking lot to the slope. Rope tow, t-bar, chairlift. They added a second slope to the west in the late 70s that went further down. We did outgrow it, spending more and more time at Mt. Peter or Camelback. But those were each an hour or two further driving.

  I spent a lot of time here in the early 70s. My father would take my brother and I here, and we would go up and down over and over again. It was a ton of fun. I even managed to take my son here once when he was very little. Miss this place a lot. They should reopen it in some capacity. 1:20 One note: The place did not have a chair lift until after the 1960s. Indeed, I don't recall ever riding a chairlift there. At least up until the mid 70s, they had a T-Bar lift and a rope tow near the bunny slope.

  Thanks for the video. Snow Bowl was one of the first places I learned to ski when I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s. I never actually took any lessons there (I took a few lessons in other places), but my brother and I used to ski a lot on the trail marked #1 on the map you show at 0:23 to 0:30. That slope or trail had its own chair lift, which was the first chair lift I was ever on. There was another longer chair lift that went to the top of the mountain along slope #10. There was also a T-bar lift between trails #6 and #11 (there may have been a rope tow on slope #9 as well, but I don’t recall that for certain). Snow Bowl was a great little ski area, and as you said, it also had a nice lodge. It was such a shame that it abruptly closed down. The Northern New Jersey/Southern New York region needs another ski area, as Mountain Creek, as good as it is, gets way too crowded these days with busloads of people coming in from the city. Indeed, besides Mountain Creek, the only other ski areas around here now are Mount Peter in Warwick NY and Campgaw in Darlington. Snow Bowl, Tuxedo Ridge, and a little place called Craigmeur near Hamburg have all long ago closed up. If Snow Bowl is on public land, I’m wondering if there could be some efforts to try to revive it.

  The end of the ski area closed the site completely. In the mid 90s they reopened as a waterpark (no mountain coaster); the snow pond was used for bumper boats, and the slope from the lodge down to rt25 had 4 water slides. That was only open a few years, though. At some point before or during the waterpark, the original regrowth was cleared. You were walking through much of the regrowth after that.

  What is surprising about the Whittier gondola is that the haul rope is still there, under tension and (apparently) still on every tower, almost 40 years after it was abandoned. I'd have thought NHDOT would have required it to be taken down where it crosses NH16. I remember seeing the gondola cars crossing over the highway as a kid once or twice, on the way home after hiking, but we never rode it.

  To bad a lot of the mom and pop ski places are gone. They were the teachers of the skiing boom of 60,70 and 80s. Then everyone left to the bigger places. Mild winters never help either. I learn at buckaloons in youngsville PA. Gone now.
