About
| Burrington Hill - Whitingham, VT - Photos |
May 3, 2002:I drove by Burrington Hill. Not much to see other than an open slope and some remants of a lift line. |
| Dutch Hill - Heartwellville, VT - Photos |
July 16, 2006:I hiked Dutch Hill with my friend Marc. We hiked up Dutchman's Holiday and then down the Dyke trail and part of Dutch Meadows. There isn't much to see at the area with the exception of a nice view at the top of the Windmill trail as well as some isolated footings on the t-bar line. Dutchman's Holiday and the Dyke trail are becoming eroded from 4 wheeler/4 wheel drive use. The rest of the trails are growing in rapidly. January 10, 2005: I drove by the base area of Dutch Hill on my way to Jiminy Peak after skiing Mount Snow. April 27, 2002: I drove by the base area of Dutch Hill. While growing in, the trails are still noticable from both the base area and from Route 8 north of the location. |
| Haystack - Wilmington, VT - Photos |
July 1, 2006:I hiked up Oh No and Last Chance to the summit of Haystack, and then up Shadow to the summit of The Witches. The wind was fairly calm at the base, however at the summit it was blowing at a decent speed. While the trails are growing in, there are tire tracks going to the terminals of all of the lifts. There was some brush clearing near the bottom of the Witches, as well as equipment and clearing near the midstation. There appears to be some sort of narrow line cut from the top of the Hayfever triple, leading towards the summit. June 25, 2006: I drove up to the remains of the recently torn down lower lodge, then walked up to the upper base area. It appears that either the equipment from the lower base lodge was transported up to outside the upper base lodge or else the upper base lodge is being gutted. In addition, the access road appears to be marked for paving. April 24, 2002: I drove up to the lower lodge and walked around the top of the small lifts, including the t-bar, the standing Mueller double, and the location of the old transfer double terminal. I then drove to the gate and walked around the upper mountain base area, including the Oh No Double and the triples. |
| Hitching Post Farm - Royalton, VT - Photos |
April 7, 2002:On my way to Bolton Valley I noticed the trails of this area from Interstate 89. After backtracking, I discovered a rope tow and maintained field around it. |
| Hogback - Marlboro, VT - Photos |
August 19, 2006:I hiked up the Practice Slope and over to the top of the Great White Way trails, eventually to the summit of Mt. Olga. While I was planning to look at the east face, I was quickly deterred when I heard gunfire a few dozen yards from me at the summit. While the trails are grown in, there are still logging/four wheeling roads around the area that make hiking easier. The summit terminals of all of the t-bars still exist. April 24, 2002: I hiked around the base area of Hogback. Despite being closed for over a decade, the trails were in halfway decent shape. |
| Maple Valley - Dummerston, VT - Photos |
March 16, 2004:I took photos of the North Double while driving by. February 11, 2003: I drove by Maple Valley and took photos of the North Double. April 14, 2002: I took a tour of Maple Valley with the former Mountain Manager. The lodge was in decent shape due to a recent renovation. The tubing operation also seemed to be in decent operation despite being out of action for a few years. The double chairlifts and snowcats had seen better days. |
| Mt. Tom - Woodstock, VT - Photos |
January 13, 2003:I drove by Mt. Tom with my friend Jamie after checking out Suicide Six and skiing Killington. The slopes appear to still be mowed. |
| Pine Top - Vernon, VT - Photos |
March 15, 2002:I drove by the location of Pine Top. Not much is left to see with the exception of a few small buildings and variations in growth (large pines, canopy deviation). |
| Prospect Mountain - Woodford, VT - Photos |
November 4, 2006:I stopped by the Prospect parking lot after hiking Mt. Equinox. Some of the trails appear to have been mowed prior to the recent snow. June 25, 2006: I stopped by the Prospect parking lot. Some trails are still cleared and T-bar/rope tow towers are still standing. |
| Snow Valley - Winhall, VT - Photos |
July 30, 2005:After the NELSAP hike at Bromley, a few of us stopped by Snow Valley and walked around the base area briefly. September 25, 2004: I took part in a NELSAP hike, as we went to the top of Snow Valley. A considerable amount of the area had been cleared recently, making many of the main slopes skiable. We hiked up a combination of trails including Steeplechase then hiked out a newly recleared novice/intermediate trail. The lodge interior had been gutted and the front deck removed. April 27, 2002: I hiked around the moderately grown in Snow Valley base area and down to the base area of the double chairlift. The chairlift was in very rough shape as was the lodge. |
| Timber Ridge - Windham, VT - Photos |
July 8, 2006:I hiked to the summit of Timber Ridge from the summit of Magic. The connection trails appear to be used by four wheelers and bikes and many of the Timber Ridge trails are fairly clear. The abandoned Southbrook complex is growing in but still noticable with a fourwheeler trail to and down it. November 26, 2003: I drove around the base area of Timber Ridge and noticed there was a modern Bombardier cat in the bottom lift terminal/garage. November 11, 2002: I drove around the base area of Timber Ridge. The lodge now appears to be a residence. March 19, 2002: I drove around the abandoned base area of Timber Ridge. |
