Vermont Ski & Snowboard Museum has identified 185 of Vermont's "lost" ski areas statewide, including some that never opened, others that have re-opened and those that were never built. Today there are 20 ski areas in Vermont.

Did you know that the 2nd rope tow in Vermont was built on the Jeffersonville-Cambridge town line? That Bristol and Lincoln have a shared history of community tows? Skis were built for the 10th Mountain Division in Waterbury where there once were 4 ski areas? And that there are 5 lost areas in Stowe, 2 in Morrisville, 7 in the Mad River Valley, 6 in Barre, and some that were obliterated when I89 was built?

The "Searching for Vermont's Lost Ski Areas" exhibit opens Friday, December 6th with a free kick-off party between 5:00-8:00.

Regular hours are Thursday-Sun. 12-5. Admission is free and everyone is welcome! As we work to meet our year-end fundraising goal, donations are always appreciated!

The exhibit is made possible thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, and with the support of Union Bank, Darn Tough, the Winthrop H. Smith Jr. Charitable Foundation, and Jeremy Davis of the New England Lost Ski Areas Project.
