Grantham Slopes?
Ledges/Whale's Hump?
East of Lebanon, NH
Years Operational Unknown

Here's another mystery area. While not appearing in any guidebooks, several readers and myself believe that a ski area exists just east of the now Whaleback Ski Area right along Route 89. If you are driving down the highway southbound, on the right is a relatively steep field, an old shack, and what looks to be lift line and somewhat narrower trail to the right. Here's a picture of the area...if this isn't a lost area...its the best "wannabe!"

Andy Dufresne has a map of New Hampshire which indicates the area to be called the Ledges Ski Area. Another reader believes that it was called Whale's Hump, a farce on the nearby Whaleback ski area.

A 1939 NH Winter Map says that an area called Grantham Slopes was located on Rte 10 in North Grantham...this area is at the end of Rte 10...so it may be it!

Does anybody remember this one? If so, please let us know.
