History
The facility began operation in 1939, known as Ward Hill Ski Area (operated by the Ward family). It has been in continuous operation since that time. In 1990 John and Effy LaCroix purchased the area and began an extensive upgrade, including a snow-tubing slope, a triple chairlift, and improvements to the lighting, snowmaking and snow grooming equipment. A non detachable chairlift brings up skiers to the summit, it is very high.
The truck which originally provided power for the rope tow is still visible, off to the right of the Triple.
