I remember Jericho. Closed down after the ‘95-96 winter. I was in high school. Had a T bar lift there. Too bad it closed…not like there was a shortage of good winters in the following 20 years. Pine Ridge in Barre lasted even longer. 2006 it had to close because the wheelhouse room at the bottom of the lift caught fire and destroyed the whole base of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fz583 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Jericho was great, I think a lift ticket was like $4 around 1989, was like a $1 for every 100' of elevation! Good times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a small place in Woodstock Ct where I learned to ski back in the 70s, Ohoho, small hill with a rope tow, had fun there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Strangely or not so strangely I only remember one real rain out (early '70s). Prospect Hill, Water absolutely pouring off the hill. NAM said it was going to be all snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was living in Florida that year so I'm not that familiar with what happened. Moved back up here just days before the inland March KU. I remember looking at the climate data for December and it was an exceptionally mild month with the exception of the Xmas cold outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love seeing the little ones that keep on chugging along. In 1970 and 71 (once each) our NNJ scout troop visited Snow Valley, just north from Manchester VT, in the middle of the Stratton/Bromley/Magic triangle. T-Bar and Poma, about 600' vertical with some steeps but no black diamonds. I've looked on GE but the place probably closed a few years after our excursions so the trails have trees 40-50 feet tall.
