Keith McKenney:
There is another lost area in central NH. The Rumney Bible
Conference located in
Rumney NH (west of Plymouth ). It had a rope tow and I recall
a single slope. I work at the RBC during the summer of 74 and
remember the hill located behind the cabin that housed me and the
other cook and maintenance helpers. My older sister said she first
skied there on a winter retreat several years earlier. The center
still holds retreats for teens but I believe the hill is now used
for tubing. John Lennerton...it was a private area in Rumney, NH (just west of Plymouth) off of Rt. 25. It belongs(ed) to the New England Fellowship of Evangelicals, and every winter they would have weekend "snow camps" for church groups, etc. They offered skiing, tubing, snowmobile rides, snowshoeing, well, you get the idea.
The slopes were on a ridge at the
back of property, one for skiing with a rope tow powered by an
ancient 6 cylinder ford engine, another slope for tubing. The
slopes were small, but this is where, as a staffer, I learned to
ski, sort of. I never became a great skier, but it was a fun
slope. I'll bet somebody who went there with their church teen
group remembers the place.
