Chapman Hill

Originally we thought this area might be lost, but its actually still in operation. Dave Bouchard sends in the following information telling NELSAP how the area operates:

A quick note that the Williston/Chapman ski hill in Northern VT is not a lost ski area. It is still in operation. As a matter of fact I was helping with the counter weight system on the rope tow this past Sat. I have skied their quite a bit over the past few years. There is a limit of 25 family members that can sign up according to the charter. There is a great mix of old and young blood making this private operation remain operable.

Thanks to Andy Dufresne, we have a photo of this area. You can see the rope tow on the far right and a base building.

The area as it appeared around 1973. Thanks to Betsy McDonough, who found it in "Look Around Essex and Williston, Vermont" Chittenden County Historical Society Heritage Series, c 1973.
