FAWN RIDGE

 

 

Located behind the Lake Placid Center, a rope tow ran for thirty seven years. Added in the sixties, a Poma lift made this "in town" area an extremely popular place. Novice skiers ideally skied its 135 foot vertical slope.

KOBL

Located on Cobble Mountain, locals skied on a small slope served by a rope tow.

SCOTTS' COBBLE

In 1938, the Town of North Elba created a 500 foot open slope on a ridge next to the Craig Woods Golf Course. This steep hill was served first with a rope tow and then replaced around 1960 with a Poma lift. This operation ceased in 1973 after thirty five years serving up excitement for the community.

SKI TOP

Located 3/4 of a mile from Fawn Ridge, this operation lasted only a few years. A rope tow served one open slope with a 100 foot vertical drop.

AND BEYOND

SKI TOP

During the forties and fifties, by using two rope tows, a common sense interconnection was achieved. Located behind the Town of Webb Central Schools, access to McCauley Mountain was made easier. These tows were replaced by a T-bar in 1952 and ran until 1991.

SKI TOP

Located behind Donnelly's Soft Ice Cream, on Route 86, Harrietstown, this little hill was skied four years. Started in 1946, a rope tow served an open slope of medium grade.
