I just noticed this yesterday for the first time. I am brain dead. I travel that road alot. What is the areas name? It on the left side of the road going by exit 11 northbound.:???:

Thanks. That is what I thought. Looks like a house at the top now.

I thought you lost a ski on the highway......

There's a whole neighborhood up at the top. Easy access if you want to be dropped off and ski down. Not that the skiing is very exciting.

There is a neighborhood at the bottom as well but most of the old trails are on convservation land so anyone can use them for skiing, hiking, snowmobiling, etc.

Lots of black bears running around though so look out. If they don't get you the turkeys will.

The day lodge and parking lot are at the top of the hill. Back in the day, a friend of mine got his Scirocco stuck on the ski trail and had to get it pulled out by a snow cat.

Sorry for the typo. Did not catch it. Maybe a moderator can fix it.

+1.......

Ah the good old days. Spent a bunch of days there growing up learning to ski. So weird starting at the top!

Also, there is an exit 11 on 89 in both NH and Vt so I assumed you saw a ski on the shoulder of 89 in northern Vermont.

I thought you too lost a ski on 89.... then I thought of VT Exit 11, where on the left side (not sure if its visible from I-89 though) is Cochran's - a small ski area that may look like its "lost" but its very much well alive.

At least you didn't say Exit 11 on I-91.... or I-95 !!!
(though most of us know there are no ski areas near any Exit 11 on I-91 or I-95)
