New Hampshire's lost ski areas are everywhere!  Small, rope tow areas were numerous, as well as many mid-sized facilities which have now closed. Many private schools also offered rope tow skiing during the last 60 years. To check out a map of some of NH's Lost Ski Areas made by Chris Bradford, click here.

If you are interested in purchasing a piece of "lost" NH ski history - a limited number of Cranmore Skimobiles are for sale by Rhonda and Peter Pope. Click here for more information. They make a great conversation piece!
