[highpeaksdrifter]

I know alot of you are from Connecticut, did any of you ever ski any of these "Lost areas" in your youth?

Not me. The only lost ski area I've ever skied was Brodie.

NELSAP is a great site.

I enjoy reading about the N New England Mtns.

No, I never skied at any lost area in CT, only Mt Tom in MA. I drive by Besse Park quite often (its about 5 minutes from my house) though. I had actually heard about it before I found it on NELSAP. Apparently it was run by volunteers and the city of Torrington, but was forced to closed because vandals would trash the rope tow engine and break the flood lights all the time. I used to sled at Page Park as a kid, but not on the part that used to be a ski area. I've been in the 'base lodge' of the Lake Ridge Ski Area, although its not really 'lost'. Its located in a fairly wealthy, private, gated condo community.

I skied the Vernon Area when I was a kid and visiting my cousins. I have skied several other lost as well. (MA, VT and NH)
