| Thanks to information about closed ski areas
in MA provided by Kevin Thomas, we now know
about this area, at least where it was located. The aerial photo on the
right is the likely location of the ski area...but which circled area is
it? Both resemble closed ski areas. Unfortunately, little else is known,
except that it was located on Sodom Mountain in western Massachusetts.

briefly worked here: Sodom Mountain Ski area, was operated at the location of what is now Sodom
Mountain
Campground, approximately 1/2 mile south of route 57 on South Loomis Street in Southwick. At the time it was operated by Art Lafreniere; I have no
knowledge of who owns the campground now. I spent one season on the ski patrol there after the closing of Southwick Ski Resort, but their
level of business was so low that I did not return the following year.
Mike Broggi: I use to camp there with my family in the 70's. There was a campground there with many camp site's and a lodge. Being a teenager at the time and loved to ski my friends and i use to hike the Mt every time we camped there. There was 1 main area that led to the parking lot. It was a very steep maybe 400 slope that ended in the parking lot of the campground. Above this area up the mountain it was a much gradual incline that led to a central peak. There where several narrow trails that spread out from the peak that all converged together at the top of the steep ending. I never remember this other area it may have been there but never explored it.
