Hi highpeaks...
Big Rock Candy....Holy Toledo! Close to my backyahd.(Spiegletown, NY)..back when growing up...did NOT ski!...:roll: Was sooooo much open, undeveloped land then too....this is a haunting, reoccurring nightmare....don't think I'll ever see as much snow as in the 60s, barring going out West... There were areas where one could actually ski from the top of Bald Mtn all the way down to the Hudson...:roll: (after traversing the highway(Rte 40);-))
Not anymore.....:-(

Not to contradict you big bob but I think you got the hill tops confused. Rice mountain you could have skied down to the river without a ton of traversing. Bald mountain you would have had to cross country for about a mile before you headed downhill again.Grew up on Bald mountain. Been all over it and still remember most of its contour.

Mt. Tom only, but I'll have to check out trying Attleboro's Sunrise next time it snows since it's right around the corner.

Not sure about Plattekill, but Magic was closed and then re-opened. That's why some people counted it on their list, they skied it before it closed.

I'll give up some birthdays and claim Bald Mt in Dedham ME and the Colby College Ski Area.

I actually FAILED some important PE credits at Colby for skiing, broke 3 ribs in a high speed collision with the lift corral in 1973 ( my fault completely, and not on a PE day) and could not complete the "season" with credit That resulted in my having an ESCORT to all my PE sessions in my senior year, else I would not have graduated.

Bald in Dedham was one evening in late January 1971, nothing to edge but sheer blue ice, and who had edges ? I was black and blue for weeks.
