This past summer, Vermont's Mad River Glen ski area, known for its legendary steeps and trees, all-natural snow conditions and its cooperative ownership, became the first ski area in the U.S. to be listed as a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places. The designation encompasses the entire ski area, including its recently refurbished single chair.

I remember reading about this late in the summer but couldn't find a thread about it.

I'm not sure what that means from an operational standpoint, the article implies nothing really changes. Still pretty cool and goes to reinforce the "iconicness" of the mountain.

Although in a way, aren't all ski mountains "historic places". What's more historic than a geological feature of the Earth?
