Sunny
Slopes
Andover, NH
~1940's - 1950's
Meddie Perry first informed NELSAP of this ski area:
"This ski area has been closed since the 1950's or maybe 1960's. As its name suggests, it never held snow very well and closed as a result. This south-facing ski hill had a rope tow and about 400' of vertical. The trails are completely overgrown, although some rope tow pieces can still be found in the woods. The bottom of the hill has been turned into a gravel pit. It is located at the end of what is now called Sam Hill Road off of NH Route 11, about 2 miles west of the Franklin town line. Driving up Route 11, look north across the farm; the large wooded hill in the foreground is the old ski area."
