Bauneg Beg
North Berwick, ME

1930's

This small ski area had a vertical drop of 250 feet and one rope tow.  According to the 1939 Skier's Guide to New England, this area had a 4/5 mile open slope that was 1/4 mile wide with a 30 degree slope. The vertical drop was 250 feet on a NE and SE exposure. The area was served by a rope tow and was novice and intermediate skiers.

Thanks to Bob Summa, Richard Legere, and Deb Dubay, we now have some great old photos of this area from the late 1930's! Here's a view of the rope tow on the top, Jan 20, 1938.

Quint's Lunch apparently served snacks for skiers.
Here's another view from the top.

Thanks to Dave Hilton, we now have a photo of a patch from the Bauneg Beg Ski Club.  Apparently one of their trails was called the Devil's Den.
