Skiing A NELSAP Area

[Johnskiismore]

I posted the same over on SJ, has anyone skied/riden an area that is on the NELSAP list? If so, where and how was it?

I've skied Mittersill and it is terrible. Don't go. :wink:

Are you talking before they went Nelsap or after? Skied several before they went Nelsap but none after.

It sounds like you're talking about skiing areas after they got on the list, not when they were still in operation.

In the thread below people list areas that they skied both before and after closing.

man, what I wouldn't give to poach a NELSAP area... Especially Bald Hill, where I used to lay down trax.... maybe someday... I know Iceman would love it...

I'm tempted to try skiing Mittersil, but I don't think I have the balls to do it. I'm sure somebody on this forum has done it before. How was it? What happens if you get caught? Would they revoke your lift ticket?

 

[SkiDork]

this thread has gotten my juices flowin...

I'm gonna enlist Iceman in a NELSAP poaching run on my old haunting grounds Bald Hill.

Let DO IT!!!!

I'll report back here when we've done it..

Dork out

I have done Sunrise Hill in N. Attleboro Ma and a half assed attempt on Diamond Hill in Cumerbland RI. I've got plans on a few of them if we get some decent snowfall and I'm not at a lift serviced mountain.

 

[SkiDork]

just spoke to Iceman.. Next time wev've got 6" or more, we're gonna hike Bald Hilll...

Really.

I've skied the following NELSAPs - my parents took my family skiing when we were in high school, but we mostly went to the smaller places, a lot of which ended up on the list:

Mt Tom - middle school ski club went there EVERY week, I must have skied a thousand miles at that place - one more storm and I'm going to head up for a little BC
Oh Ho Ho - Upside down ski place
Hogback
Haystack
Round Top - I see that's back open as Bear Creek? The high school ski club went here a LOT - I think we used to get a bus ride AND lift ticket for $20 or something (maybe less?). Even then it was a low-rent situation, high ice content
Brodie (found another)

I thought there would be more... oh well.

Andrew, it is on Totten Pond Rd. You can park in this parking lot.

ah, right. just can't remember the d- street names. amazing that doesn't get poached more with the kinda traffic out there. I "earned" turns in the Arboretum this weekend, and there were many a snowboarder and skinnysticker there too.

As long as there's enough snow you should be good to go! I'm pretty sure most of Pine Top is on public land and one of the old slopes was recently cleared.

I ski Norwich alot.

 

[riverc0il]

I have skied a few over the years. Good times. Aside from some of the larger lost areas, your typical lost area doesn't have much for terrain but there are occasionally some gems to be found.
