NELSAP areas you once skied...

I learned to ski in Bavaria in 1956 and quit the sport in 1962 while living in western MA when I took up sky diving. 2000+ jumps later I hung it up in that sport. I returned to skiing and took up snowboarding in the winter of '96-97. In that earlier stretch I visited a few areas that no longer exist. I suspect some of you could compile a lengthy list of NELSAP ski areas where you once skied. For those unfamiliar with the New England Lost Ski Areas Project, it's a marvelous site that lists 588 now defunct ski areas in New England.

Here's my short list:

Jug End Barn - Egremont, MA
Jericho Hill - Marlboro, MA
Mt. Tom - Holyoke, MA. It opened the last season I skied - 1962
Ohoho - Woodstock, CT

I recall skiing a number of times at a place called Belknap near Laconia, NH but I'm told it still exists as Gunstock.
